Canoe
Although we are called 'Southampton University Canoe Club' we are in fact a group of whitewater kayakers! A growing and nationally successful club, SUCC accommodates anyone from people who have never kayaked before (which is how most people join us), to expert paddlers. We run weekly sessions in the pool and on the river, with both weir and flat water sessions, with trips every fortnight and at least one awesome social a week, so there's something for everyone. If you have any questions at all please contact the committee by posting on our freshers WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/C8iHDicG8CA0CzsIk9JQT6 Or on the Instagram: @sotonuni_canoeclub Or via email: sucanoeclub@gmail.com (Questions are answered sooner when direct messaged on the Instagram rather than via email).
We run pool sessions twice a week (Monday and Thursday 9 pm-10 pm at the Jubilee Sports Center) where we coach you on everything you could possibly need to know. As well as river sessions on Wednesday afternoons at the Watersports Center Near Wessex Lane Halls. If that wasn't enough we also run weekend river trips away all over the country fortnightly.
The best way to keep up to date with the club is by joining the freshers Whatsapp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GzIREDiLLPgJ7SPjZfJ4cn
