The club is basically involved in paddlesport racing & despite our name, members compete in both canoes & kayaks. Over the years we have produced a number of Olympic & world class athletes. Each year sees members selected for Great Britain Squads in Flat Water, Marathon and Wild Water Racing disciplines up to World Championship level.
Over 80 members compete locally, with about 60 taking part in competition at National level.
The club organises a variety of events for those wishing to start racing, with weekly time trials at 1200 metres or 5 miles, plus 10 Km races for K1, K2 & K4. In addition we also host a Hasler (national ranking) Marathon & the Trent K2, an 18 mile race from Castle Donnington to Nottingham.
A full programme of training sessions in the gym and on the water help Junior, Senior & Veteran members prepare for these events and form the majority of the club's weekly programme of activities.
If something a little less strenuous appeals to you, the club also arranges "Casual Paddling" sessions for those just beginning to paddle, those who prefer recreational canoeing or, "just messing about on the river."
