Teignbridge Canoe Club was formed in 1984 at Teignmouth,
South Devon. We currently number over 100 members with a club house,
changing-rooms and showers situated on the sea-front.
We are active in most fields of recreational kayaking and canoeing. Members
partake in surf, white-water, open canoeing, touring and sea canoeing.
We are able to instruct a wide range of ages and abilities to help paddlers
improve their skills. Our regular Wednesday night training sessions at
Teignmouth during the summer months are a great place to learn, whatever
your skill level. During the winter months we hold pool sessions at Dawlish
Leisure Centre for member to practice their skills or play a game of polo.
We are keen to introduce novice paddlers to both white water rivers and
surf, and hold special events to make sure that beginners learn the basics
in a safe environment before venturing onto more challenging waves and
rivers.
We are very lucky to be close to the surf beaches of the South West. We
sometimes get some waves on our doorstep at Teignmouth.
The River Dart is known throughout Britain as a great white water boating
venue. We make use of all reaches of the river when the water levels are
appropriate, from the mellow lower sections to the more challenging Dartmeet
section. There are also many other rivers in the South West to explore.
Teignbridge Canoe Club is very much a social club as well as a canoe club.
There are weekends away to events, rivers or beaches, and these are great
opportunities to get to know everyone. |
