Youth
Welcome to Paddlesport.

Whether you are already on the water or would like to get started,
check out this page to find the action!

Canoeing is truly a sport for everyone, from calm steady paced touring
to racing down raging torrents. From exploring coastal scenery,
catching the surf or performing the ultimate playboating moves. Water
polo, expeditions, canoe sailing - once you've mastered the basic skills
the choice is yours!
It's a great way of seeing new places both here and abroad
and for making new friends, whether you canoe for recreation
or competition. Don't forget Paddlesport has two Olympic
disciplines; Slalom and Sprint as well as World Championships
in several others.
For those of you already paddling don't miss the opportunity to try out different
disciplines that are on offer - both regionally and nationally.
