Pool Sessions
The club holds frequent pool sessions and is fortunate to have access to an indoor pool at West Buckland School.
Pool sessions offer the opportunity to practice and learn skills in a comfortable and safe environment. The club generally has coaches or experienced paddlers on hand at the pool sessions who will be more than happy to offer coaching, guidance and feedback.
Sessions
During the winter season (September to April) the formal club sessions run every two weeks at West Buckland School and members are also welcome to join Bude Canoe Club at their sessions in Holsworthy. In the summer, pool sessions finish in May.
