ACC is probably the most diversified Club in the region, and we run programmes and instruction to suit beginners and advanced paddlers of all ages and abilities.
We are a multi discipline club that welcomes anyone interested in paddle sports from White Water to Sprint and Marathon Racing to Canoe Touring and Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (SUP).
We also run a selection of courses, both at the club and as a joint effort with other organisations. This includes try-it days, intro courses, and Paddlesport Discover and Explore courses, and extends to advanced whitewater courses and individual race training. Please contact us for more details.
The different types of boating may appeal to different people, but in fact most experienced paddlers are happy doing all of them. We recommend you try all of the activities – you may want to try white-water kayaking in the summer, but be happier to do sprint training in the winter. Don’t feel that just because you are part of one group, you can’t be part of another – the key skills are the same in all of them, and it’s a great way to make new friends!
