The club ran two beginner’s courses over the summer months, during the course the participants learnt paddle skills such forward and back paddling, how to steer the boat and how to stop the boat etc. The advance course was for participants who had already completed the basic course and the aim was to develop their skills and carry out safety and rescue exercises.

All the students enjoyed the course immensely, as it gave them the opportunity to build their confidence on the water and learn a new skill.

A big thank you to all the instructors who ran the course and congratulations to all the students who took part.
