We are currently experiencing a high demand for sessions and are trying to accommodate as many people as possible.

SUMMER SEASON (Mid/End of May till End of August normally)

Sessions on our Club night - Wed night 19:00 till 21:00 (light dependent). All at our base on Foulridge Canal (see venue for loation)

WINTER (October till Mar)

We may be able to run some sessions on a Saturday morning, during the Winter period, but these opportunities are likely to be limited

We, hopefully, will be able to offer some taster sessions in the pool again these will be notified via the mailing list.

Pool sessions are Wednesday evening arrival 20:15, Pool time 20:30 till 21:30 at Pendle Wavelengths

What's the diffference between a Taster and a welcome session

Taster sessions - are for people trying the sport for the first time

Welcome sessions - are for those who have experience paddling and may wish to join the club, gives you the opportunity to "try before you buy" a membership. You can join us without attending either if you are keen please see membership

What do I need to bring?

ON THE CANAL

We have all the gear you need, we can provide Buoyancy aids, helmets and some wet weather protection gear.

One of our coaches will get you started with the basics and get you paddling in your choice of craft (Canoe or Kayak)

Just bring something that at worst case you don't mind getting wet and a change of clothing.

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR - cotton, denim and hoodies, as these absorb and retain water so you get cold quickly. Also bulky trainers as this will limit your kayak access, and may restrict in case of needing to exit the boat quickly

IN THE POOL

We supply all the gear you need, boats, helmets and buoyancy aids

Just bring some swimming gear, towel as you will get wet. Showers are available
