Paddle On Canoe Club
PaddleOn! Canoe Club - Paddling 4 ALL
Have you ever fancied kayaking or canoeing Floating down a river in summer, watching the birds and the dragonflies; running a white water rapid; experiencing the thrill of riding a surf wave Well surprising as it might sound having a disability doesn't have to stop you getting out and about on the water in a boat. There are a number of clubs around the UK where you can learn to paddle, and PaddleOn! in Bristol is just one of them.
PaddleOn! is an equal opportunities canoe club catering for adults and children of any ability, from beginners to experienced pros. Some of our members have learning difficulties, some have physical or sensory disabilities, many have no disability but the one thing we all have in common is that we like to paddle and have fun together. Whether it's river trips, pool sessions, surfing, sea paddling, camps or just messing about in boats that takes your fancy, given the right attitude and support it is surprising what it is possible to achieve. Boats can be adapted, skills can be modified to achieve success but the most important first step is to get out there and have a go.
