the Prado Nautical Club has

provided the practice of ca-noeing to an average of

federated athletes.

The Prado Nautical Club, as

a big association, has also ex-

perience in the organization

of big sports competitions at

national and regional level.

Thus, in the last years, among

the organization of innumera-

ble sports events, the most re-

levant are the following

to be carried out were not met.
