Canoeing Information
Course Times: 9.00am to 5.30pm
This course is an ideal introduction to kayaking. You’ll be introduced to the fun, freedom and excitement of paddling your own boat. We’ll mainly use the sheltered waters around Calshot Spit with the option of using our dedicated canoe training pool.
We have a large fleet of stable and user-friendly kayaks as well as more specialist craft.
No previous kayaking experience is needed however you do need to be able to swim 50 metres.
You will need to bring with you personal canoeing clothing that you don’t mind getting wet! This should include: swimming costume (to wear under wet-suit), towel, a pair of old trainers or wet-suit boots/shoes, long sleeve top and trousers. Depending on the weather conditions you may also wish to bring a woolly hat or a sun hat and sun block.
We provide: wet-suit, canoe cag, buoyancy aid, spraydeck, kayak and paddles If you wish to do some preparatory reading we recommend the BCU Handbook available direct from the BCU at www.bcu.org.uk or from most canoe shops.
