The course involves a weekday evening pool session, typically a Thursday (1 hour) followed by a weekend ‘on the sea’ session, for example Sunday morning (typically 2 hours) for four consecutive weeks.
Session dates can be flexible to suit the group.

Maximum instructor to student ratio 1:4

This enables students to learn new skills in the comfort of the indoor pool, before transferring them to the Sea environment, to practice whilst still fresh, ensuring maximum learning.
As many of these skills form the criteria for the British Canoe Union (BCU) 2* and 3* personal Awards, we also offer students an assessment as part of the course.

As part of our ongoing commitment to raising the level of outdoor skills and safety on the Island, we also include elements of the BCU Lifeguards Canoe Safety Test. Those who join the course with previous experience or progress quickly, the whole Canoe Safety Award will be offered, as part of the course.

 

Those who wish to continue learning and paddling with us after the course, will be invited to join the Adventure Club. This offers great value, reduced rate sessions, progressive learning program, and as usual we supply kayaks and all necessary kit and equipment, high quality as standard.
