Knottingley Canoe Club

Before you join

Adult beginners

Adult membership starts at 18. The first pool taster is free, with membership required after three sessions. Regular pool sessions are advertised as walk-in; the taster enquiry does not itself confirm a session. Check the arrangement for your first visit. Annual membership runs September to September and pool sessions cost extra. The linked 2024/25 pack does not establish current fees.

Junior paddlers

Junior membership is for under-18s. The pool page welcomes any age, but the enquiry form's child category starts at eight. Check acceptance and suitable coaching before arranging a younger child's visit. Parents should tell coaches about medical or support needs and arrange prompt collection. Confirm attendance and changing arrangements for the child rather than assuming a drop-off session.

Equipment

The pool page says equipment is provided. Bring swimwear, a towel and a T-shirt or rash vest suitable for the pool. The membership pack describes basic club kit and an equipment officer for queries. Outdoor trips depend on the activity and available equipment. Check what can be borrowed, its fit and the personal clothing needed before joining a river or sea trip.

Accessibility

The council's Normanton entry lists graduated pool stairs and a disability hoist. Its venue page confirms disabled parking. The club's changing policy says family or accessible cubicles may be available through pool reception. These details concern the building and swimming pool. They do not confirm kayak transfers, adapted craft or individual on-water support. Arrange any practical assistance before attending.

Where the club paddles

Pool sessions use Normanton Leisure on Market Street, WF6 2AR. The owner describes term-time sessions; confirm the next club date through the taster enquiry route. The map identifies the leisure-centre building area, not reception or a meeting entrance. River and sea trips use other locations chosen for conditions, paddler ability and available leaders.
