Description
Learn to Open canoe sessions, River Severn Shrewsbury
We welcome children, adults, families and organised groups.
These half day sessions are a fabulous way to try open canoeing.
Our friendly and dedicated team will be on hand to guide you all the way.
The session begins with some informative land-based activities which are carefully tailored
to your needs. You’ll be soon on the water taking your first strokes and experiencing the joys of Paddlesport.
Your coach is likely to employ a blend of tasks, games and short journeys to help you develop your canoe skills. As you
improve your feel of the water a whole new perspective begins to emerge.
By the completion of the session you will have a basic understanding of your canoe
and be able to: select suitable clothing and equipment; get your boat to and from the
water (with help); get on and off the water safely; paddle in a straight line; turn and
manoeuvre; be able to deal with a spill; a basic understanding of water etiquette and have a
great plan for your next adventure! We might even get you paddling solo!
