Training

So you want to learn? You've come to the right place. Training of paddlers is a major part of the club, be they paddlers who have never seen water before through to those wishing to take their first steps on the coaching ladder.

At Frome Canoe Club Canoeing and Kayaking are taught through structured courses, the length of which depends on the content of the course. It's not essential to go on these courses before you join us at our sessions as there is always an instructor present to help you, however the instructor won't be able to teach you everything!
Training course's only take a limited number of participants to ensure that the coaches are able to develop existing skills and teach new ones effectively. Booking early is advisable.
Frome Canoe Club run most of their Canoeing and Kayaking courses in the spring and summer.

The training of Canoeing and Kayaking is currently going through major changes. Due to these the program of courses for 2008 is not finalised yet. Once the program has been confirmed further information will be added to these pages.
