Before you join

Adult beginners: The club's focus is children and their families. Its membership page links an adult and helper application form alongside the youth form. That does not establish a separate adult beginner programme. Use the contact page to discuss helping, family participation or the next session before completing an application.
Junior paddlers: The club's own membership page gives a joining age range of 9 to 14. The Paddle UK discovery listing says 8 to 14, so confirm eligibility directly if your child is eight. The youth form requires parental consent and asks whether a child can swim 50 metres in light clothing, with space to explain a different swimming ability.
Equipment: Not confirmed in the sources checked. Ask the club directly.
Accessibility: The youth membership form states that there are no changing facilities at the canal. It advises arriving dressed for the weather and bringing spare clothing. The reviewed website does not describe step-free jetty access, adapted boats or transfer support. Ask about these before deciding whether a session will suit your child.
Where the club paddles: Hunston jetty on the Chichester Canal is the club's stated paddling base. Its website describes term-time Tuesday sessions from May to October and also mentions pool practice without naming a current pool. Confirm the next session and arrival instructions. The address for returning membership forms is correspondence-only, not the jetty.
