U canoe is British Canoeings new initiative to get teenagers and young people out and paddling.
Whoosh are paddlesport leaders in young paddlers development. We offer some great watersports sessions to get young people out paddling. Working over the winter to develop techniques like capsizing and rolling techniques we are ready to head out onto the river this spring.
U Canoe sessions are run with club leaders which are experienced and enthusiastic. We run sessions which treat our teenage paddlers as equals, with no restrictions on what they want to do, the U canoe initiative about having an adventure, develop skills developing responsibility and undertaking activities with awareness of controlled risks, like developing whitewater skills, undertaking expeditions and participating in paddling sessions with independence.
