Canoeing at Maritzburg College has an illustrious history and maintains the reputation of being one of, if not the, strongest paddling schools in the country. College's location, within walking distance of the drift - home to the NCC and the start of the Duzi Canoe Marathon - makes it an ideal school for boys who wish to embrace the wonderful sport that is canoeing.

The inter-schools season sees paddlers participating in a variety of disciplines including: Marathon, Sprints, Slalom and Canoe Polo. It is hoped that by introducing boys to these various disciplines some will pursue any one of them at an international level.
