River Kayaking Beginner Course Tuesday 7 October – Sunday 2 November 2025

These Courses are for people with no, or very little kayaking experience who wish to get involved with kayaking. Participants will learn the basic skills required to control their kayak, be made aware of the hazards that exist and how to deal with them. They will gain knowledge about the equipment used. While we can’t teach you how to have fun, there will be heaps of chances to have a good time! It involves:

Learning basic safety skills in the pool
Paddling techniques for flat water, moving water & river running skills, delivered by experienced instructors
Plus a further club trip with instructors, either sea kayaking or river kayaking.
Free use of Club hire equipment for 6 weeks from the first pool session
