Before you join

Adult beginners: Beginners use the club's bookable starter sessions before moving into a racing kayak. Experienced paddlers can contact the club directly to arrange a suitable start in regular training.
Junior paddlers: The club says flatwater racing can start from age eight and offers junior membership for under-18s. Its public pages do not explain supervision or consent for each session, so families should confirm those details before booking.
Equipment: Membership provides beginners with a stable racing boat, paddle and buoyancy aid. Availability for a particular starter session should be confirmed through the booking route.
Accessibility: The club welcomes different ages and fitness levels. Its public information gives no detail on wheelchair routes, accessible changing or adapted boats. Ask the club about individual needs before attending.
Where the club paddles: Members train from Horsenden Farm beside a sheltered section of Perivale's Grand Union Canal. The map identifies the clubhouse, not a promise that the water or site suits every paddler.
