Canoeing
Canoeing involves using a paddle to move across the water in a narrow vessel.
An Overview of Canoeing
Canoeing offers "something for everyone!" Waterways are the arteries of our island nation! There are different types of canoeing including; Canoe Slalom, Freestyle Kayaking, Canoe Sailing, Polo, Sea Kayaking, Sprint Racing and more!
To promote and develop canoeing for disabled people, the British Canoe Union & Canoe England use the concept and term Paddle-Ability to address the issue of participation in canoe sport and canoe recreation. Paddle-Ability focuses on the individuals' ability in canoeing rather than disability.
In all forms of kayaking you use a double bladed paddle and will be in a seated position with your legs in front of you.
Canoes and kayaks vary greatly in design, shape and size dependent on the type of canoeing, the type of water and the size of craft suitable for you. Do nor worry about this level of detail if you are new to the sport, the best thing to do is go along to a local club or centre, or try one of our starter sessions and you'll learn about the various styles of canoes and kayak out on your session.
