The activity

Kayaking, explained

Kayaking has kids sitting in a small boat and using a double-bladed paddle to move themselves across flat water, usually at a beach, lagoon or marina. It builds arm and core strength, balance and water confidence, and teaches basic safety around the water and other water users. Starting ages vary from club to club and children usually need to be comfortable in the water first; younger kids often begin with supported paddling, games and splash time before moving on to handling a boat themselves. Kayaking is often taught alongside stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkelling and swim-rescue skills as part of a mixed water sports session rather than on its own.

Who it's for

Children from age 3, in two groups: a younger class designed to build water confidence (3-5 years on the homepage, 3-6 years on the Water Sports Club page) and a group for 6 years and above. The school programme is for grade 3 and above. Nothing is published on ability levels or special needs provision - ask the provider.

What to expect

The Water Sports Club meets on Saturdays at Riva Beach Club, with sessions built around outdoor adventures and water-based activities: SUP, kayaking, snorkelling, swim-rescue skills, games, fitness and beach clean-ups. You sign up through the registration form on the website (name, email and contact number), and the registration pack includes a uniform, cap, bag and water bottle. Session times, fees, what else to bring and whether a trial session is possible are not published - ask the provider before your first Saturday.
