Before you join

Adult beginners: The club welcomes complete beginners and experienced paddlers, and it says training is optional. Joining uses the AUSA login route. The public page does not confirm a general non-student membership option, so staff, alumni and other visitors should ask before attending.
Junior paddlers: Not confirmed in the sources checked. Ask the club directly.
Equipment: Not confirmed in the sources checked. Ask the club directly.
Accessibility: Aberdeen Sports Village lists Blue Badge parking near its entrance, accessible changing spaces, lockers, showers, toilets and lifts on each floor, plus a swimming-pool hoist. These venue features do not confirm club support for boat transfers or river trips. Discuss the session you need in advance.
Where the club paddles: Regular practice uses the dive pool at Aberdeen Sports Village Aquatics Centre. The club also describes whitewater trips on most weekends. River outings meet elsewhere, and no single outdoor rendezvous is published. Use the club's latest instructions for pool and outdoor sessions.
