Club Trips and Events

This course is suitable for people with little or no experience of sea kayaking. However, you must be confident to swim/tread water/be under water in the sea (wearing a personal flotation device).

By the end of the course, you will have learnt kayak skills including basic paddle strokes, paddle signals, assisted rescues (plus optional self-rescue) in the pool and in the sea, in addition to learning about different sea kayaks, gear and safety equipment.

The last session till Spring! Pool polo start next week.
The Club hires the Riverside Pool each Wednesday night 7.30-8.45pm for Club members & non-members alike to train & practice kayak techniques indoors in warm water.

Instruction in rolling technique is usually available from Club mentors. See website under “TRAINING” for details as to costs and requirements.
