Life at Richmond Canoe Club

At Richmond Canoe Club, every member’s journey is unique but what unites us is a shared sense of community, support, and the exhilaration of paddling on the river. Whether you’re new to kayaking or returning to the water after years away, you’ll find a welcoming environment, expert coaching, and friendships that extend beyond the boat.

Here’s what some of our adult members have to say about their experiences:

“One of the Best Decisions I’ve Made”

“Joining RCC has been one of the best decisions for me. From the first novice course through to my recently being a ‘peer paddler’, they have been so supportive and inclusive. Everything you need is provided and the coached sessions are run by such friendly and experienced coaches. I have met loads of new people and become part of a really positive community – which was not something I thought would happen when I joined. I am so grateful to all the coaches and fellow paddlers. Getting out onto the river and enjoying nature and beautiful scenery, as well as a brilliant workout for body and mind, is amazing.”
– Sara

“It Feels Like a Big Family”

我是2024年8月加入RCC的，之前很少参加集体运动，更不用说参加俱乐部，过去的一年得到了很多新的体验，很多时候感觉就像一个大家庭一样。更不用说学到了非常多实用的皮划艇技术，得到了每周数次保持锻炼的机会。

“I joined RCC in August 2024. I rarely participated in group sports before, let alone joined a club. In the past year, I have gained a lot of new experiences and it feels like a big family. Not to mention that I have learned a lot of practical kayaking techniques and have the opportunity to keep exercising several times a week.”
– Sherry
