So you’ve mastered the basics and fancy taking the plunge into more challenging white water? Possibly getting back in the game after a lengthy break? Or if you just want to polish up those skills, this is the course for you.
We will take you through the processes of becoming a more proficient paddler, using a mixture of practical exercises, some bank theory and river reading techniques. Hopefully time on the water with one of our very experienced coaches will leave you feeling more confident than ever before!
Participants in this course also have the opportunity to earn one of the new British Canoeing White Water Performance Awards.
