Before you join

Adult beginners: The winter programme has a senior or adult pool session after the junior session. Newcomers should contact the club first because space must be confirmed. A first taster is free, but paying online does not guarantee that someone can paddle.
Junior paddlers: The club runs a dedicated junior pool session and publishes an annual junior membership category for under-14s. Its current official pages do not state one minimum joining age, so families should confirm age, space and supervision before attending.
Equipment: The club says members can use its pool canoes and equipment during winter sessions. Outdoor Friday paddles require suitable personal or borrowed kit for the planned water. Ask what is available before relying on club equipment.
Accessibility: Not confirmed in the sources checked. Ask the club directly.
Where the club paddles: Winter Friday sessions use Alton Sports Centre. Summer sessions move to rivers, lakes, canals, harbours and coastal venues, generally within an hour of Alton. Outdoor paddlers need the current float plan, suitable equipment and the required basic training before attending.
