Welcome
to Ealing Canoe Club
Fitness and Fun at Ealing Canoe Club - Just add water!
Ealing Canoe Club is located in Perivale, West London, on the south
side of Horsenden Hill next to the Grand Union Canal (findus)
We promote various forms of canoesport in a safe, friendly
and enjoyable way.
The club is open to individuals, school groups, youth and other organisations.
The minimum age for membership is normally 8 years, but under 12s need
to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. All we ask for is that all participants
are confident in the water and prepared to join in with Club activities.
Members enjoy Racing (Sprint & Marathon), Touring, Open Canoeing (using
canoes rather than kayaks), General Paddling for fitness and fun and Coaching.
We enjoy good relations with other Clubs and regularly join with them
for trips on other rivers and competitions.
We organise trips ourselves to more adventurous waters than we have on
our canal, including weir sessions and white-water tours.
We also have gym facilities for those who want to maintain fitness during
the winter or those training for competitions.
We encourage all forms of the sport in a friendly and enjoyable way.
The club is open

from 13.30. (on the water 14.00) for Junior Groups
Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 17.00 for Junior Training (summer only),
