Junior Beginners

Beginners courses for juniors - under 16s - are run in the summer only. Each course consists of 8 sessions: 2 per week for 4 weeks and commence at the beginning of May, June, July, August and September.

The sessions are on Thursday evenings 6.00pm to 7.30pm and on Saturday afternoons from 11.45am to 1pm.

Each course costs £20.

Children should be able to swim at least 100 metres in paddling clothing. We usually only take children from 10 years old.

Once a child has completed a course he/she may opt to continue paddling at Richmond by joining one of our junior training groups.

Beginners should contact Roxane Dunn on 07765 080 407 or by email Roxanne Marffy.

You will need to bring the clothing listed on the Introductory Page

If you are an experienced junior from another club and you wish to train with Richmond please get your coach to contact Trevor Wetherall.

As part of our commitment to the community Richmond Canoe Club runs a course for Junior's from the borough over the summer holiday
