Beginners course (1-day) Adult (Age 14+)  

Beginners courses are for adults and young people aged 14 or above who are new to kayaking or returning the sport after a long break.   For children 8-14 we offer separate Kids Start Award courses.

Our Beginners courses will teach you the skills you need to paddle forwards and steer a boat in a number of different directions as well as how to look out for yourself and your companions when out paddling. You will learn how to get in and out of a boat, how to carry and move a boat. You may get the opportunity to try out a number of different sorts of boats including kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs)

Cost of the course includes free club membership for this year if you successfully complete the course. This means that after the course you can paddle at the club for no extra charge. 

If you wish to join as a 2 parent family then choose the ticket 'Adult with family membership'. A second Adult or any U18 in your family can then be booked on a course without additional membership fee using the 'Adult already a member or included in Family' ticket and the 'U18 with accompanying adult' ticket.

For a single parent, choose 'Adult with membership' then add 'U18 with accompanying Adult'

Please ensure you complete the membership form when you create an account and make the course booking. 

Please note refunds are only given on medical grounds or if we are able to resell your place via our system.
