MU – Varna Develops Canoeing - Kayaking for Students

Students from Medical University – Varna have an option to train Canoeing - Kayaking at the Black Sea Breeze Canoe-Kayak Sports Club. The initiative of the Rector Prof. Dr. Dimitar Raykov, DSc aims at expanding sports opportunities and promoting an active lifestyle among young people. The University has training​ simulators, but this project now enables students to train in real conditions in the waters of Varna Lake.

The practical training takes place twice a week - on Saturdays and Sundays, and transport to and from the sports facilities is provided by MU-Varna. “I hope that by next season, we will also have provided our own equipment," said Eng. Deyan Grancharov – Assistant Rector.

The training sessions are conducted by Paisiy Lyubenov, winner of bronze medals at world canoe-kayak championships. “I am positive that pretty soon we will have student crews that will be performing with dignity at competitions," he commented.

“We have laid the foundations for a successful partnership with the Medical University. I believe we will build on it successfully," added Aleksandar Grigorov, chairman of the club.

Those willing to train canoeing-kayaking have to submit training applications, including their full name, faculty number, and contact phone number, to the following email address: aksel.halil@mu-varna.bg
