Musselburgh Lagoons Canoe Coaching  

Beginner & improver canoe sessions, open to adults and children.  10am-12noon.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, either as a course participant or bankside support. This session includes travel time, and participants will be asked to help with loading and unloading as much as possible. 

The session is aimed at people new to paddling or wishing to improve their paddling skills in a canoe.  The canoe is open, which may appeal to those who aren’t quite comfortable being in the enclosed kayak yet.  The coach will bring you through basic paddle strokes, working with a partner in the canoe to manage boat control and rescue skills.  The skills you learn are transferrable to kayaks and paddleboards.

Musselburgh Lagoons offers an enclosed water body, perfect for first timers or those who may be nervous on the sea. The club will provide a boat, a buoyancy, spraydeck, helmet and paddle. 

You will need either a wetsuit or some clothes you don't mind getting wet, like an old tracksuit and trainers.   Take a change of clothes and a warm drink to heat you up when we get back to base.  

[There are 6 spaces total - we've added these as 3 x Juniors, and 3 x Adults.  If one is sold out but you see there's availability of the other, please get in touch at northberwickkc@gmail.com and we'll see what we can do for you]
