If you choose, we’ll be able to help coach you to a series of British Canoeing Paddle and Personal Performance Awards, such as:
• BC Paddle Start - A place to start your paddling journey. If you’re brand new to the sport and really want to learn the basics to get started, then this is the award for you. You’ll cover everything from getting in and out of the boat, what you need to wear and paddling forward.
• BC Paddle Discover - Develop your decision making and practical skills for a fun and safe time on the water, taking you on the next steps towards becoming a proficient and independent paddler. This awards is for anyone of any age who wants to develop their skills on the water. You don’t need any previous experience and you can take the award in any craft.
• BC Explore Award - If you want to become independent on the water, go on self-guided adventures and know how to control your craft and stay safe on the water, this is the award for you. Learn to make confident choices, based on the places you paddle, wind and weather. Working with a coach you will be able to develop a programme that suits your needs.
