Kayak Progression Course

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.

1. The participant should be comfortable on and around the water, please let us know if you have any concerns surrounding this.
2. The participant should be able to partake in physical activity for this period of time, please check with your doctor or call us with any concerns.

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.

This course will work through the British Canoeing Paddle Start award using a Kayak with the aim to achieve this by the end of the session.
