Our H2O Club is a 1.5 hour session for kids to come along and take a kayak or paddleboard out to improve their skills. There is an instructor on the water for the whole 1.5 hours to give the kids the best hints and tips they can to ensure they improve their boating skills week by week. The sessions can be used as a “dust off the cobwebs” type session or it can be used to refine a skill that they have learnt on their training courses, or even a session to get that one final thing signed off in their logbook to achieve their next skill level.

Whatever they feel they need to do, we will try our best to help.

The minimum requirements are as follows:

• Closed Cockpit Kayak: BCU 1* or BCU Paddlepower Passport (or with Horseshoe lake staff recommendation)
• Paddleboard and Sit on top kayak: No Qualifications

Our H20 Club is for ages 8 – 16 years old.
