SUTHERLAND SHIRE CANOE CLUB

Welcome to the Sutherland Shire Canoe Club.  

We’re not the biggest or the best but we’re the friendliest Canoe Club in Sydney.

Our Club provides FREE instruction, coaching and recreational paddling for paddlers of all types of canoe and kayaks.

Our members range in age from 8 to 85 and some are paddling despite physical disabilities.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recreational Paddling and Touring

It’s no co-incidence that many of our members are also bushwalkers because paddling can be like bushwalking on water.

If you paddle just a few km up the Woronora River from our Clubhouse you’ll see jumping fish, stingrays, sea eagles and a whole host of flora and fauna.

Every few weeks we go on weekend trips eg the Waterbirds & Wrecks at Homebush Bay & the Lunar Eclipse Paddle.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      

 

Why Paddle?

Most people think of canoeing and kayaking as sports requiring strong arms and shoulders.

In fact, much of the power of good paddlers comes from the twisting of the torso and from the powerful drive of the legs against the footrest.

So what you get is a complete body workout and regular paddling will quickly increase your aerobic capacity and improve your cardiovascular fitness.  You’ll also trim your waist and get great abs from  paddling.

Try for Yourself

 

If you’d like to see if canoeing or kayaking is the sport for you, why not have a FREE Test Paddle with the Sutherland Shire Canoe Club

 

Just come to our Clubhouse between 9:00am and noon on any Sunday and you can borrow one of our boats, a PFD (life jacket), aqua boots and paddle.  We’ll give you FREE instruction and you’ll find our members are only too happy to give you advice about boat and equipment purchases etc.  Just bring with you :

1. Hat & sunscreen
2. Clothes you can get wet in (It’s a water sport)
