First Saturday of the month from May 2019.
An introduction to forms of Kayaking (and potentially Canoeing). Sessions will include getting on and off the water safely, moving the boat in a straight line and lots of games. The aim is to give you a introduction to the sport using the British Canoeing Start award (see https://www.britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/new-personal-performance-awards/ for details) giving you a good overview of the sport. Sessions will be approximately 45 minutes on the water. When you register, we’ll email you with further details.
