It is important that you wear the correct clothing when you come paddling. What you wear should not saturate with water if you fall in. Nylon garments such as fleeces and modern sports shirts are much better than cotton. Woolly jumpers are definitely out.
If you do not have gear designed for canoeing we recommend the following:
- Tracksuit bottoms, leggings or shorts
- In winter you may want to have two layers.
- Alternatively, a wetsuit will be appropriate as long as it does not restrict your arm movement. Wetsuits designed for surfing or general water sports are usually less restrictive than those designed for scuba diving.
- No jeans.
- T-shirt, sweatshirt, thermal top
- In cold conditions, several thin layers are better than one thick layer.
- Avoid cotton if possible.
- Pair of old trainers, plimsolls or wetsuit boots (your feet will get wet)
- Shoes without laces are preferable. If you must wear shoes with laces then be sure to keep the laces short to avoid them snagging on foot pegs in the canoes.
- No flip flops or wellington boots and no bare feet.
- Hat
- In winter you may want to wear a hat of some sort.
- Best not to bring your favourite one.
- 20p piece
- Lockers are available - these take a 20p piece.
- If you wear glasses
- You will need something to keep them secure.
- Sports shops generally sell various bands and cords.
- Towel
- Hot showers are available.
The club will provide:

- Paddle

Please note that the club does not provide:

You could get very wet so bring a towel and a full change of clothes.
