CANOE WALES ARE ORGANISING  THE BIG ADVENTURE CANOE WEEK.

The week runs from 26th May – 3rd June. The Big Adventure was so popular last year that British Canoeing have decided to keep the same theme for 2018. You can learn more about the week at: http://www.gocanoeingweek.org.uk/organisers

The Swansea Canal Society are participating in the Go Canoeing Week on Sunday 27th May, Tuesday 29th May, and on Sunday 3rd June.

On Tuesday, 29th May, there will be an unique opportunity to receive a comprehensive lesson in Kayaking from qualified instructors who run the Ponty Paddlers . We will be open from 10.30 to 3.00pm. There will be a small charge for the instruction.  Follow the link below to see the basics of safe canoeing that will be taught:-
