Southend Canoe Club

What We Do

Pool Sessions

Held mainly in the winter (When it’s cold outside) 

These are at Sweyne School from 8pm on Fridays

Free Coaching is available for those who wish to partake otherwise it’s a free paddle.

due to the size of the pool we limit sessions to 12 boats so booking is essential particularly if you wish to use the pool boats

Summer (Local) Paddles

These are held from May to August on local water; Sea,  Crouch & Chelmer.

They are about 2 hours in duration, normally held on a Friday evening starting at 7pm, sometimes Saturday @ 2pm. We usually follow the paddling with a ‘cool down’ in the closest local hostilery.

Equipment can be provided but you will need to book this by Thursday evening as this will need to be arranged with the members who will loan their kit.

Winter Trips

We look to go away for a weekend in October, November, December, February & March.

This is normally looking for white water & staying in a bunkhouse.

The cost of these weekends is £50 this includes accommodation, Friday supper Saturday; breakfast lunch & evening meal, Sunday; Breakfast & Lunch.

The rivers paddled will depend on the experience of attendees looking to ensure everyone has the option of paddling

Summer Trips

Normally about thee weekends, in May, July,  & August camping & flat water paddling. 

These are usually self catering although we may book an optional  group  meal depending on who is attending
