Coaching, Leadership & Training
We are fortunate to have many experienced paddlers within the club with a number of qualified coaches and river leaders. As such we are able to put on a varied programme of paddling including a progressive white water programme and structured courses such as that following the PUK Personal Performance Awards.
Whatever the trip you are sure to find an experienced paddler who will be willing to give you help and advice.

During the winter months on Sundays, subject to river levels, we offer whitewater training sessions.
