Beginner Sessions 2025  

These sessions are designed to give you an idea of what the club is like and to give you a taste of kayaking on moving water. After a tour of the club site you will be kitted out with the necessary equipment (helmet, boat, buoyancy aid and kayak) however please note:

1. You must bring your own clothes and shoes to wear, they are likely to get wet
2. If you have them: wetsuit, cagoule, fleece old trainers
3. You must bring a change of clothes and towel

Once kitted out and a safety briefing it's off to the river! There the session focuses on having fun and teaching you the basics of how to paddle your kayak.

After the session it's back to the club house for a friendly chat about the club and some videos showcasing some of the activities that club members get up to. Here you will be able to join the club at a discount of £10.

Note: While there is no minimum age we do expect people to be water confident and able to swim at least 25m

Start Time is 10am

Location: Club Site, Lower Dale Road, Marple SK6 6NL
