September 2017 Beginners Kayaking Course PT 2.
Meridian Canoe Club is pleased to be able to offer a beginners kayaking course.
The course will be will be based at Danson Park on the lake, the home of Meridian Canoe Club. We will also invite you to attend one (or more) of our pool sessions so we can help you build confidence with exits in a warm environment. For the final day of the course we will travel to the river Medway for a day on the river.
Please note, this course is primarily targeted at adults, but under 16s are more than welcome on the course providing they are accompanied by an adult who is either taking part in the course or staying on site while the training is taking place.
Please further note that whilst the minimum age for the club is 8 years old we insist that children under the age of 10 are accompanied on the water by a family member during the course.
The course will be split over 2 weekends and you will also be able to spend some time at one of our pool sessions during the course.
