SVCC Coaching

SVCC's BC-qualified coaches are able to accommodate a large variety of skill levels from complete beginners getting in a kayak for the first time to experienced kayakers looking to improve their technique, or gain access to more advanced training.

As aell as a thriving canoe slalom group and a group of white water paddlers, the club ha sa number of members predominantly interested in open boating and sea kayaking.

Coaching is available at our indoor pool sessions, at our flat water sessions, and on white water and sea kayakimg trips.

The club runs pool sessions at Stratford Park Leisure Centre suitable for all levels of skill.

During the autumn, winter and spring these are the indoor pool on alternate saturday evenings. During the summer these move to the outdoor pool and are held on alternate Thursday evenings.

SVCC also deliver flat water coaching sessions for members on the Stroudwater Canal and the River Wye, as well as coaching on moving water at Symonds Yat Rapids. 

These will be for both open boat and kayak skills for those aiming towards the 2* award, and for beginners/intermediates wanting to develop their skills.

Occasionally external service providers are used where club coaches are not appropriately qualified. For example for delivery of Foundation or White Water Safety and Rescue Training, or perhaps Freestyle Training.
