The Sharks was established in 2007, to promote sport and to provide sporting opportunities to youngsters and the not quite so young. We aim to work with schools and other existing organisations to teach a variety of sports, enabling people channels into sport for whatever reason they want to be involved it may be for:

Recreation, just the pure enjoyment of the sport

Competition, the thrill of pitting your wits against others

Fitness, maintaining a healthy life style, whatever your age

Coaching, may be you want to help others enjoy sport by helping in supporting roles, sport involves far more than just the people who take part, there are administration, teaching, staging events, nutritionists etc, etc.

The Sharks are here to help people gain entry into sport whatever their age, whatever their level of interest, we also want to help people achieve their full potential in their chosen sport, through providing facilities training and opportunities.

Currently the Sharks are active in canoeing  which operates at Perivale Community Centre in the London Borough of Ealing and at Coppermill Lock, Harefield in the Borough of Hillingdon. 

The Sharks organise a monthly canoe marafun racing league on the second Tuesday of the month (April - September) and on the second Sunday of the month (October - March) at Harefield to encourage participation, the league and the races are designed for paddlers of all abilities. We also run a number of Wild Water Races on the last Saturday of the Winter months and the last Tuesday of the Summer months (not September and December)

We are always looking to build partnerships and would like to meet with other canoe clubs so we can help develop the sport.

Swimming is an area the Sharks have specialist knowledge and is the sport which launched the Sharks, However, we have not secured the pool time we required despite attracting funding from the National Lottery. We are looking for pool time, where we can develop the sport amongst people who often do not join clubs and whose talents go untapped. Any clubs or pool operators (schools etc) who wish to encourage more people to take up the sport please contact neal@thesharks.org.uk.

We are always looking for new opportunities to develop sports we have expertise in recruiting new members and sports development so please contact us to see if and how we can help your sport, your club.
