Coaches:
Kamini Jain
Kamini has been competing in paddling for 25 years, which has included competing in kayak in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, many international dragon boat titles and 5 medals at the 2008 World Outrigger Sprints including a World record in the masters women’s V-6 1000m, teamed with Cheryl. For the last five years, she has focused on coaching paddlers to international success through the FCRCC High Performance Dragon Boat Program which has born World Champion dragon boat paddlers, World Sprint Outrigger medalists and the FCRCC Sprint Outrigger crews that have been enjoying success in this season’s CORA distance series. Kamini was the coach of the 2008 Canadian Sprint Outrigger Team in 2008 and, again, will have the role in 2010.
Cheryl Skribe
Cheryl was one of the original dragon boat and outrigger paddlers in FCRCC, being there when the two sports arrived in Canada in the late 1980’s. Since that time, Cheryl has had national and international success in many paddling disciplines. In recent years, her focus has been outrigger canoe, spending time in Australia and Hawaii honing her skills and fitness with these outrigger power houses. As a result of her tenacious training, she has a win and second place finish in the coveted Molokai-to-Oahu OC-6 crossing as well as wins in the OC-2 and OC-1 Molokai-to-Oahu relays. Last season, she steered her V-6 and V-12 crews to 5 medals at the 2008 World Outrigger Sprints including a World record in the masters women’s V-6 1000m. Her knowledge of steering through both turns and straightaways in sprint outrigger and being able to teach that information to others is unparalleled in this part of the world.
If participation numbers warrant, another coach will be added.
