Harlesden, Southall, and Thamesmead
We offer training sessions for those who can use racing boats at Harlesden on Wednesdays, Southall on Thursdays, and Thamesmead on Tuesdays. All sessions begin at 5pm. These sessions are restricted to experienced paddlers for safety reasons.
All Year Round
Our competitive teams need to practice and train all year round, we encourage our members to use gyms, to Swim, to cycle, run, and other fitness activities. We also aim to get paddlers on the water at least once a week. As well as evening sessions at Harlesden Southall, and Thamesmead, we host sessions at Harefield every Sunday throughout the Year.
If you wish to take part in our evening paddles, please talk with coaches first, we need to ensure the sessions are suitable for you. We also ask you to be on the relevant site WhatsApp group, so we can co-ordinate sessions during the Winter.
As well as our weekday paddling sessions we host sessions on Saturdays, on weekends we are not racing. For more information please call or text: 07951 770241, or email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk.
It is safe and it is fun, we expect paddlers to wear high-vis jackets and lights, which we can provide.
Land based training
We will soon be publishing details of our land based sessions to keep people fit and active throughout the year.
