Introductory Level 1 Kayak or Canoe Course 2024
The Introductory Level 1 Kayak or Canoe Course (or old 1 Star) is the minimum requirement for entry to the Club. This teaches the foundation strokes used in kayaking or canoeing and is a basic introduction to the sport. The course starts at 10:00am and finishes at 5:00pm.
We ask that you arrive in good time to get changed and meet your coaches and fellow participants before the course starts. If you don’t manage to reach the standard required during the course we may be able to offer further coaching to ensure you reach the required level.
All courses include the following: use of club equipment, 7 hours coaching, award assessment and access to BC Paddle Discover Award certificate (at cost price)
We recommend that you book an off-site river trip to complement your training at a date to suit you. Choose from trips advertised on "Big Day Out" or "Adult Paddles" to suit your ability.
The course meets or exceeds the requirements of the British Canoeing Paddle Discover Award. For more details on the Paddle Discover Award click HERE and then click on the appropriate award to download.
