Canoeing and Kayaking

We offer canoeing and kayaking in several locations, a secluded lake, Wareham River, or Poole Harbour.  You can paddle in either kayaks or canoes, in pairs, on your own or in rafted canoes.  Our instructors can provide you with a great introduction to paddling, fun and games, a journey around the harbour or up the river, seeing some local sites and being taught new skills along the way, short breaks can be included to play some exciting kayak games and competitions to give you a chance to put your paddling skills to the test..

For those of you wanting to improve existing skills we can coach you to acheive BCU skills awards.  We can offer Paddle Power Awards in our watersports sessions for 8 to 15 year olds.  These awards are designed as a fun introduction and progression to paddlesports.  Each of the five awards has a certificate of completion.  For over 14's, star awards are available.  We can provide 1 to 3 star in canoe and kayak.  One and two star are generic awards, taken in both canoe and kayak.  3 star is a discipline specific award taken in the craft of your choice.  These are excellent benchmarks for paddlers of all ages and are pre-requisites for entering into the coaching scheme.  Those age 14-15 can choose between the two schemes.
