History

In the early 2010s, the club reorganized its works by introducing coaches for certain categories of contestants: kayak school, pioneer, cadets, junior, young seniors and seniors. In this field, the work of Aleksandar Petrović, who in recent years with a team of club seniors, has achieved great successes in national and world championships.[2]
In January 2023, the city unveiled plans to expand the Štrand beach downstream and refurbish the beach area with more entertainment options and accommodations, moving the rowing club Danubius 1885, kayak canoe club Vojvodina and restaurant Cesla to Kamenica Island upstream. The realization of this plan will not start until these locals are moved to their new locations.[3][4]
