Cumbria Canoeists set up much needed outdoor canoe polo venue in South Lakes and Lancaster

Cumbria Canoeists (with help from British Canoeing) have set up a much needed outdoor canoe polo venue at Killington Lake in South Lakes.  The new venue will be used to run canoe polo coaching courses, referee courses, local friendly club tournaments and training sessions. We aim to establish a regional Div 1 and 2 team which local clubs can feed into.  In addition, the venue can be used by local clubs to run their own activities. In order to further develop this new exciting venue, Cumbria Canoeists will be applying for a Sport England grant to raise money to build up our kit supplies to support the venue.If any local businesses are interested in supporting this please contact Chris Archer at: [email protected] Any donations are gratefully welcomed.


From Tuesday 27th June, we’ll be running weekly beginner sessions running from 18:30 til 19:30 every week.  No previous paddling experience is needed, all kit will be provided and your first session is free. Due to insurance reasons, you need to be 11 or older to attend. Canoe polo is a really funsport and a great way to get into kayaking.  If you would like more information please contact Matt Carter: [email protected]
