Regents Canoe Club is one of many kayak clubs in London offering kayaking lessons, but this six week course will appeal to adults looking for a bit of excitement. The course is is designed for those who have little or no previous experience of paddling kayaks, but who want to get onto moving water by the end of the course.
You will begin by learning how to control your boat on the Regents canal and at pool sessions, before progressing to moving water and ultimately your first taste of white water! Sessions take place in the evening or at weekends.
The course runs over July and early August
