• Would you like to learn to kayak (one shaft with a paddle at each end) or canoe (one shaft with one paddle at the end)?
• Are you interested in competitive paddle sports?
• Do you want to be an active member of sports club?

Paddling at Richmond is enjoyable, relaxing, fulfilling and hard work – all at the same time.

As a racing club that paddles throughout the year and in ALL weathers we are looking to encourage people of all ages who are keen to take up kayaking and canoeing – ideally to compete in races at whatever level (and there are competitions for all abilities) – and are looking to become involved in the activities and running of the club.

We run adult and junior novice courses starting in April each year and running for 5 weeks. The courses provides an introduction to the sport of racing kayaking and to Richmond Canoe Club. It’s suitable for complete beginners and those who’ve had some paddling experience in other types of kayak (eg white water).
