Chester Riverside Canoe Club

The Chester Riverside Canoe Club are an active group of paddlers who meet every Sunday 9:30am ‘till 12:30pm. Please come along if you want to have a look at what we do and ask further questions, or come down ready to join in! It has been a voluntary club run by the parents of the members and coaches since 2013. The club now has charitable status (No. 1154274) and has the Clubmark award. The club has a dedicated team of British Canoeing trained coaches, many being former paddlers of the club who had their first taste of paddle sports with us. Young paddlers are able to gain British Canoeing awards for skills and safety, with the guidance, support and training of the coaching team. The club members paddle a range of different types of crafts, both kayak and canoe and coming soon Stand Up Paddleboards. We provides safe tuition on the water for the young people of Chester and the surrounding areas. We are a friendly, inclusive and welcoming club, affiliated to the British Canoeing Awarding Body and hold the prestigious Clubmark award. We are open to under eighteens of all abilities, from total beginners, through novice paddlers, to freestyling young guns. We can offer skills training and assessment from beginner through to advanced levels, in both kayaks and open canoes. The club is able to offer training and assessment for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme. Canoeing and kayaking can be a physical activity, skill, or expedition. If you are over 18 and working towards an award the club will try to facilitate your requirements. We are able to offer fun and awards sessions for Scouts, Guides, Cadets and other Youth Organisations. We meet on Sunday mornings at 09:30 for our main sessions and aim to be on the water by 10:00. Its £7.00 for the session, a change of clothes and be prepared to get wet and have fun!
