Welcome to Totnes Canoe Club
About the Club
Totnes Canoe Club is affiliated to PaddleUK and is run completely by volunteers for the benefit of its Members.
The Club offers the opportunity for people of all abilities, from the age of 8 years upwards, to enjoy learning to kayak, canoe and paddleboard in safety with qualified instructors, leaders and coaches.
We are privileged to enjoy easy access to flat water for training sessions with estuary and sea kayaking close by. We also paddle white-water on the River Dart, other local rivers and further afield as conditions allow.
​
The Club provides coaching aligned to the PaddleUK award schemes, as well as organised trips on many of our local rivers and estuaries, plus additional trips to other venues throughout the year.
​
There is an afternoon pool session on the last Sunday of the month (excl. December) for capsize and rolling practice.
What do we do?
On the last Sunday of each month (excl. December) we have a capsize and rolling practice session at Totnes Pavilions swimming pool, from 2 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. This is a good time to come along and meet the club members. Bring your swimming kit and a towel to join in!
​
In the summer (starting around the end of April) we run beginners, intermediate and more advanced training courses on the river Dart at Totnes. We welcome everyone, both adults and juniors (from 8 years old), onto these courses. The courses provide an introduction to paddling and teach basic skills and safety.
​
Other summer club activities include surfing, estuary and sea trips, plus the occasional barbecue.
​​
Alongside the summer courses there are introductory white-water coaching on the Dart for those who have reached a suitable standard. During the autumn, winter and early spring there are white water led trips for small groups run on local rivers most weekends.
​
In the winter, a group of club members will be paddling one of the local rivers most weekends.
​
See our Training & Events Programme for details and dates.
