Safety

Canoeing can be a hazardous activity with an element of personnel risk.  That is why Safety is vital to our core values, ensuring everybody has fun on and off the water.  Each session will open with a briefing of the activities ahead followed by warm up exercise before entering the water.  The briefing includes the aims of the session, the risks and mitigation in place, communication and boundaries.

All activities adhere to governing body’s (BCU) best practice.
