With schools starting back we believe there is no better time to try something new and get involved in a sport that keeps you active and outdoors. If your child is is looking for an adventure they could be the perfect fit for our kayaking club.

We’re recruiting boys and girls aged 9-12 who want to learn and be a part of our team, while also being willing to get a little wet.

Kayaking is a great way for kids to become confident and gain important and relevant life skills. And at Glasgow Kayak Club they can do it all whilst becoming part of our strong and supportive community. 💚💜

With a group of experienced coaches (some of whom were paddling in these very boats just years ago) we can guarantee each child is given the same level of care and support that has lead to the growth of many of our paddlers from young kids to elite athletes and human beings 🏆

📍Where? We are based in the Firhill Basin in Glasgow and paddle along the Forth and Clyde canal

The best part of it all is being based in Glasgow we can almost guarantee it might not be raining ☔️ (umbrellas recommend nonetheless)
