Take your kayaking to the next level!
Our Kayaking Progression course will set you up for the basics of Kayak paddling; technique, equipment and rescues. You can book a bespoke session by requesting a time (for two or more people) or choose from the dates available. Equipment is provided but you can bring your own.
This course will give you the Paddle Start Award through British Canoeing.
Please come prepared for your time on the water. We recommend casual, sporty clothing in layers so you can adjust to the weather. A fleece with waterproofs are great if you have them, if not we have some tops/trousers that you can borrow to wear over your clothes for the session. Please bring shoes that you do not mind getting wet and a change of clothes for 'just in case'.
Please bring any medication you may need throughout the day, and ensure the instructor is aware before the session starts.

Great Waterside Centre. I organised a ladies paddleboarding session for my church in July 2025 and the centre was excellent, taking all the stress out of booking. I just needed everyone's email and the rest was sorted. ...

Did axe throwing and buggy building and it was such a fun experience for a group of 13. The staff were really friendly, accommodating and fun for the two activities and would def come back
