Bristol Canoe Club is a club for paddlers in the Bristol area. We are a very active club with over 150 members, and participate in lots of canoe based activities as well as social events. Our Calendar page shows the latest information, but many trips, training sessions or socials can be planned at at short notice, and organised via our members-only messaging system.

We are involved in white-water paddling, flat water racing, canoe polo, plus general leisure paddling including surf, sea, SUP etc.

From September through to March, the Club runs a weekly pool session at Bristol South Pool on a Monday evening, where our General sessions cater for beginners and paddlers perfecting rolling technique for example. A canoe polo session follows the general session where polo kit is available for new members. The Club has two active polo teams participating in both the National and South West Regional League.

During the summer, our General sessions continue on a Thursday evening at 6pm from the Baltic Wharf on Bristol Harbour. Our canoe polo sessions continue at the outdoor pitch underneath the Cumberland Basin Flyover.

Our flat water racing members hold regular trainings sessions on the Bristol Harbour, where we also have a storage facility. They patriciate in many events nationally and hold a regatta on the Bristol Harbour.
