Club details for Elmbridge Canoe Club

Elmbridge Canoe Club

www.elmbridgecanoeclub.org.uk

We are a competitive sports club and have a high reputation for providing members for the British Marathon, Sprint and Olympic teams. At the same time we are known for our work with children and have trained some very successful Junior World Champions.Elmbridge has sent paddlers and coaches to the Olympic Games since the club began. Elmbridge provided four out of the five kayak paddlers who represented Britain at the Sydney Olympics and are very proud that Tim Brabants, who won Britain's first ever sprint kayak medal there, a bronze in the 1000m, started his canoeing at Elmbridge as a ten year old.

Adult beginners have their own session at 18.00 on Friday evening during British Summer Time. We have an adult recreational group which goes out on its own on Saturday mornings at 9.30, although this group is unsuitable for beginners. Adults keen to improve can usually be accommodated in the children’s groups by arrangement with the coaches. If you are already an experienced adult paddler looking for the challenge of training with the best then please contact Roland Lawler. See website for contact details.
