Description

UWE Canoe Club is one of the oldest clubs at UWE, and we are a well-known and feared canoe club throughout the country.
We offer paddling for people of all abilities and both sexes, in many different disciplines of the sport. You ask, we'll sort it... Disciplines of canoeing involve river running, play boating, surfing and canoe polo.

We organise many weekend river trips that get progressively harder to challenge most. We meet weekly to learn, practise and socialise which is all incorporated with the joining fee. All equipment is provided and as such this is a cheap way to try out something new!

Our trips start off easy and we work our way up to some white water action including a trip to Europe at the end of the year.

Where they train/meet

We train weekly at Bristol University SU pool. These training sessions cover the basics stokes through to the more advanced techniques and will prepare you with everything you need to know before you get on a river. We also teach the random yet fantastic sport of canoe polo within our pool sessions.

Directions to the pool are available on our website: www.uwesu.net/canoe

The social life of the club is extremely active with weekly pub meets as well as various pub crawls and parties. Our regular trips are by far the best social events.

As well as having a great party time there will be the opportunity to get wet on the river on our regular river trips! The trips will get gradually harder as the year progresses and you become an expert paddler! We will show you the basic kayak strokes to get you moving down the river in style.
You will get the opportunity to go to some fantastic places including South Wales, Dartmoor and even France!
