Training 2025

If you're interested in learning to paddle a Kayak or an Open Canoe, we're the place for you!

We're still finalising details of our 2025 courses, but they will run through June and early July - we will be offering a 2-day weekend course or a weekday evening course across 5 weeks.
Once we have dates and times confirmed, we'll put details on this page.

All our training is led by fully qualified Paddle UK volunteer coaches, and equipment is provided.

If you're interested, please do contact the Course Secretary.

Everyone on the courses will need to sign up as a member - you can find more details about that on the membership page.
Once you've done the courses, you'll be able to come on paddles with the club - be that local or further afield - as well as have the skills and confidence to take advantage of other paddling opportunities.

Below are examples of what both a Kayak and Canoe look like. This will assist you when deciding which course to book onto.
