Beginners Canoeing Sessions
Beginners canoeing or kayaking sessions can take place at our lake in Blaxton, Doncaster or at Maltby Leisure Centre, depending on the season.
Beginners will learn how to get into and out of the boat, the basics of paddling (such as forwards, backwards and turning) as well as capsizing (turning the boat upside down).
Rentals
Green Star Canoe Club provides the required kit for beginners to try canoeing or kayaking. Boats and paddles are provided.
In a swimming pool, this will be a helmet and buoyancy aid. Beginners will need to bring their own swimsuit (for females), swimming shorts (for men) as well as shorts and t-shirt.
For outdoor canoeing or kayaking, Green Star will provide helmets, buoyancy aids, dry cags, wetsuit (shorts and/or tops), fleeces and decks.
During the summer months, shorts and t-shirts may be worn rather than full kit (depending on the weather).
Please bring a swimsuit (for females), swimming shorts (for men) as well as any clothing that will keep you warm before and after.
*Please note beginners need to bring their own swimsuit or swimming shorts for hygiene reasons.*
