Courses

Paddling the whitewater rivers or lakes is a source of many beautiful experiences and countryside views from different perspective. Thanks to canoeing and kayaking you will reach places where you would not get to otherwise. Spending evenings with friends by fire looks romantic. Nights in tents, wet neoprene... Water sports are also about that. Watching slalom racers, successful Slovak freestylers or rafters can be fascinating. You would say that learning it cannot be difficult, but as with other sports, there are years of hard training, hours spent on water and many failed tries behind their results.

We would like to facilitate your beginnings, give advice on how to learn paddling in the fastest and correct way, what equipment to choose etc. We aim to attract new people to water sports; this is why all of our courses are led by experienced and licensed instructors. Sure, you will not learn everything in a water sports course. Practice is the most important thing, so do not be afraid of falling over; neither the best kayakers in the world learned riding without it. In the course of time you can learn to do Eskimo rolls so that you do not need to swim. After one water-sports course you will not be able to paddle the most difficult rivers in the world, but you will be showed what way to follow in order to reach this goal.

On the water it is always important to know how to react in emergency situations; therefore we pay much attention to safety in our canoeing courses. You will learn what a throwline bag is, how to use it, why you should wear a swimming jacket and a helmet. In intermediate courses you will learn how to do an Eskimo roll, how to organize a water rescue, you will get familiar with paddling technique and tactic and other significant information for paddlers.
