Itinerary

We structure the week to ensure that all paddlers can get the most out of it. With one coach to six paddlers, time is spent getting to know each paddler individually. The week will include a mixture of different environments and craft including possible visits to lakes, easy moving water and the sea. Days will be spent with a mixture of static coaching and journeys to put these skills into practice.

This course is for young people who are either new to paddlesport or not paddling very often. Pioneers should be water confident, be comfortable swimming 50m in basic clothing and have an appropriate level of fitness for 5 active days before attending the course.
