Canoeing and Kayaking Clubs

Canoeing and kayaking – often seen as extreme sports carried out on white waters and yet the reality is that canoeing and kayaking can be a most tranquil and relaxing way of passing time on flat water while enjoying the experience of being out in the great British countryside.

All that's needed in order to gain maximum benefit from membership of a canoeing or kayaking club is enthusiasm and willingness to have a go! It isn't difficult but it's tons of fun! And what's more, as long as a reasonable level of fitness is maintained, it's suitable for all age groups, from youngsters to grandparents.

A good canoeing club will teach you basic boat handling skills, safety on the water, and how to use the equipment provided. Once you've learned the principles needed in order to paddle safely as part of a supervised group, most canoeing and kayaking clubs will give you the opportunity to take canoes or kayaks out in pairs.

There's no need to worry about low winter temperatures either. Canoeing clubs of use local swimming pools in order for both beginners and experienced paddlers to practise canoeing and kayaking techniques and receive instruction in warm water during the cold winter months.
