Canoe Lifeguards |
Herts Canoe Lifeguards
are a BCU Lifeguard unit and meet every Monday night from
7.00pm to 9.00pm at HYMB. We welcome new members which
is open to anyone over the age of 11.
General canoeing skills and experiences are built upon
by training to the BCU Lifeguard Syllabus and recognised
first aid qualifications. All members are encouraged to
extend their skills and take assessments. Using these
skills we provide lifeguard safety for a variety of water
based events such as canoeing races, open water swims
and triathlons.
For many years we have provided safety cover for The London
Triathlon, the biggest triathlon in the world. We have
been regular participants of the annual BCU Lifeguard
Championships often putting in 2 or 3 teams and are the
most successful team in the last 10 years. We also attend
the BCU Lifeguard convention and other covers and events
run by the National BCU Lifeguard Committee.

| Edmonton
Canoe Group |
Edmonton Canoe Group (BCU
affiliated established 1983)
In 2008 we celebrate 25 years of introducing safe kayaking/Canoeing
to the community, teaching all aspects of our sport, complementing
HYMB-run activities.
Our summer programme starts on the 2nd April through to
the end of September. Meeting at the base on Wednesday
& Thursday evenings (if it is your first
time, please arrive ½ hour early, so that we can
show you where everything is) on the water for 7.pm to
9.pm. Saturday morning’s sessions on the
water for 10am to 12. Noon, this continues all
year around, whilst you continue to come.
For 2008 we intend introducing a Monday afternoon
session on the lake from 1pm through till 3pm.
It’s for the over 50’s (We do not stop playing
because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing?)
We would also like to invite parents whose children have
to be picked up from school, so that they can enjoy some
quality time without the kids.
The minimum requirement for all our activities is over
9 yrs old & able to swim at least 50 meters. In addition
to the above we have days out on other rivers, weekends
away camping & canoeing, introduction to White stuff.
If you drive your children to the base, don't just sit
there waiting for them. Come for a paddle with us?
During the winter months we operate at The New Edmonton
Leisure Centre, The Broadway, Edmonton, N9. (Opposite
Edmonton Green Railway Station). Friday evening’s
8-9pm. Negotiations are being made to allow canoeing
some other times in the week. This will cater for the
shift workers, & others who can make daytime activities.
We also use Southgate Leisure Centre, Winchmore Hill Road,
London N14 6AD. On Sunday evenings 7.45-8.30pm
for general recreation, & 8.15-9.15pm for the fast
game of Canoe Polo. All pool sessions must be booked in
advance.
There is no need to own your own craft. We actively discourage
youngsters from buying their own craft, as boat designs
change so quickly. Try as many different boats till you
decide which the best is for you. Most boats spend 99%
of their life stuck on the grass at home, slung on the
shed roof, or hanging up in the garage. If you want to
buy something, look at your personal clothing and safety
equipment, not boats.
