During the winter months (October through April) our main coaching activities Saturday afternoon Club Sessions at Tyne Green, when everyone is welcome and Friday evening sessions at Hexham Swimming Pool, which you must pre-book to ensure a boat.
Beginners of all ages are welcome to come to our Saturday afternoon sessions; do please, introduce yourself to the coach in charge who will arrange appropriate supervision for you.
The Saturday afternoon session starts at 1-00 at the Boathouse on Tyne Green, Hexham. We aim to be on the water at 1-30 and off by 3-30. Coaching is available at this session. Equipment can be provided for £1 per item. The session is dependant on river and weather conditions. Please wear clothes and footwear that you don't mind getting wet and bring a change of clothing, a towel and a warm drink. There is no charge for members; it costs £3 for non-members.
There are three half hour sessions at Hexham Pool on Fridays from 8-30 onwards. We don't arrange organised lessons at these sessions, but coaching is always available, just ask. You will need to wear a swiming costume. Goggles and nose clips are useful at these sessions. The session costs £2 for members and £3 for non-members. Please contact Scott Bradley on 07951 354433 or email scottymalotty69@yahoo.co.uk to book places.
Information on river trips can be found on the Trips page.
All children and young people must be signed in by a responsible adult. If you bring a child, particularly to a river session, please don't leave until the coach in charge has confirmed that the session is suitable for your child.
