Paddle With Purpose

Our Level 3 River Kayak Skills Training is more than just technical ability - it's about learning to move with awareness, read the river - respond with calm and confidence.

Our Level 3 Kayak Skills is designed for paddlers ready to progress beyond the basics and embrace a whitewater environment on grade 2 - 3 rivers.

Our course is a blend of technical development, and a deep connection with the river. With us, you will learn to read the water and features, catch eddies with precision, perform safe rescues and refine those strokes that keep you in command.

Course Highlights:

  • Control on moving water - catching eddies, breaking in and out, ferry gliding, crossflow momentum
  • River Reading - Hydrology, hazards and safe lines
  • Awareness and decision making - grounded in presence
  • Rescues - Self rescue (Roll) and assisted rescues

Who is this course for?

  • Level 2 paddlers looking to progress or with previous moving water experience
  • Those preparing for the Canoeing Ireland Level 3 Skills Award
  • Instructors, club paddlers and adventure seekers looking to develop rescue competence and a resilient mindset

This training is a key step toward your Level 3 Kayak Skills Award, but more than anything, it's an invitation to paddle with purpose and recalibrate your senses.

Join us riverside before your next adventure.

Completed the introduction course over six weeks and loved every minute of it. Superb setting and instructor. Learned lots and had great fun doing so.Looking forward to continuing the journey and I know the Canoe Centre is the right place to do so.

Ronan Holmes - Google Review

As a complete beginner and new to water sports, I recently completed a six-week Introduction to Kayaking course at the Canoe Centre, and it was an amazing experience. From the very start, the centre felt welcoming and safe, which helped ease any nerves I had. The instructor, Keith, was knowledgeable, patient and supportive, always explaining and demonstrating techniques clearly and encouraging everyone along the way.
