Canoe and Kayak Combined Prize

The England Slalom Talent Programme and Peak PS are establishing a new award to encourage young paddlers who improve their combined ranking in canoe and kayak disciplines. Prizes will be on offer to the male and female paddlers aged under 16 who accumulate the greatest combined points total in kayak and canoe. This combined ranking table will enable  paddlers to track their progress.

More detail and rules can be found HERE>

Slalom Progress Awards

Last year Canoe Wales and the England Slalom Talent Programme, in conjunction with the England Slalom Committee, presented the new Slalom Progress Awards. We have updated the Awards for this year. MORE>

Please Volunteer - Your sport needs you!

We are in desperate need of volunteers. Please contact Sally Atkinson or Matt Crowhurst if you are interested in helping out at Canoe Slalom Div 1 and/or Prem events. It doesn't have to be for the whole day - even an hour can be really helpful. MORE>

CIWW Slalom Access 2024

Canoe Wales invites all slalom paddlers to weekly sessions at Cardiff. These are funded by Canoe Wales, but with the help of non-squad paddlers' contributions we are able to keep offering them to benefit everyone.

During term time we offer 2 sessions a week, Tuesday and Thursday, both at 18:00-19:00 at a cost of £13 per session. If you want to attend these you must be white water confident, always paddle with a buddy and keep a good vibe to the session.

You can join the Spond group with all the sessions HERE. For further information contact , Lead Slalom Coach

Training on the Olympic Course at Lee Valley

Slalom sessions are now on the LV website to book. Email to ask them to add the slalom waiver to your account and the sessions will then show on the booking app under Olympic Slalom.

2024 Division 4 Races and Starting in Slalom - a trial for the 2024 season

Division 4 slaloms remain an important part of our sport, introducing paddlers and giving them water time and race experience, but for 2024 there will no longer be automatic promotion from Div 4 to Div 3. MORE>

New C2 pairings

Apply direct to the C2 Bib Officer - you do not need to go through reinstatement. Ranked C2 pairs may enter races at any level.

There is now only one division in C2. Any pair can now get together, as casually as they wish, to race in C2 at Div 2, Div 3 and Div 4 races, but they will only get a ranking if they apply for a bib. No bib, no ranking.
