Training & Pool Sessions

Training

In the summer we are primarily outdoors at North Dock and the River Tawe. During the winter months we train indoors at Ammanford and Penlan Leisure Centres.

If you’re interested in other canoe disciplines such as Whitewater kayaking, we are friends with Tawe Kayak Club with many of our instructors and members participating in both Canoe Polo, Whitewater kayaking and other disciplines including Sea Kayaking, Slalom and Surf.
