Renovation updates
The KKC have been working with the Hull CC and HC&L since late 2019 about the redevelopment of the Albert Avenue site including the lido. Inevitably with big projects there are many hurdles and uncertainties. Todays news about the increased funding is welcomed and will help the site become a premier leisure facility. Throughout the negotiations the needs of the club have been listened to and subsequently reflected in the maturing plans. Inevitably compromises will be required however progress to date suggests that the club will continue to enjoy the site for many years more.
We will be running a general outdoor paddling session on the pool, this is open to anyone including beginners. This will give you the opportunity to paddle any of our boats and coaches will be on hand.
Location: Outdoor Pool - Albert Avenue
Date: 29th January
Time: 11:30
Location : Potentially River Derwent at Howsham
Date: 6th February
Time: 09:30
Meeting Location: At the Club House
We will be running another beginners white water session. This will most likely be at Howsham, but we will have to look at river levels and weather on the day. This will be suitable for those who have paddle outdoors before but not white water, or those who need to work on their skills such as edging, crossing, entering and exiting the flow.
Please book your places via the Events Portal. There are spaces for 2 Assistant Coaches, suitable for any aspirant white water coaches.
Location : Potentially Driffield Canal
Date: 20th February
Time: 10:00
Meeting Location: At the Club House
This will be another flat water open to everyone. We've put this in the diary at Driffield Canal, but this may change closer to the time. If it is Driffield Canal, there is a £5 launch fee. There are other options we are exploring, but we want somewhere sheltered!
Marathon racing is conducted in divisions; the lower divisions can use any sort of kayak or canoe but higher divisions use specialised marathon boats, long, narrow and very unstable when stationary!
Canoe polo is played by teams of five and the basic aim is for them to pass the ball from player to player, by hand, and score in their opponents’ goal while at the same time defending their own goal.
Slalom competitions take place every weekend throughout the country. Division 4 is suitable for beginners of any age. Slalom helps with the development of speed, boat control and white water skills which can be used in all aspects of canoeing and kayaking.
