FITNESS PADDLING

​Our Most Popular Program
Looking for an alternative to being in the gym? This program is for you.

Fitness paddling sessions are designed to offer paddlers the opportunity to combine a fantastic core work out with basic to advanced kayak drills, techniques and games. Each session delivers a structured workout program offering low-impact training with high-impact results.

Participants can use their own boats, paddles, or those provided by the Club.
