Castlebar Kayak Club

Castlebar Kayak Club We are a independant kayak club based in Castlebar, Co. Mayo since 2003. New members always welcome! Message us here or at [email protected] in 2015.

Castlebar Kayak Club
In 2013 the club received a Club Training / Development Grant from Mayo Sports Partnership. With
the funding received the club put together a Level 2 Instructors Course which was run by Canoeing
Ireland, the governing body of the sport. Six members from the club participated in the course
and three of those members have since qualified as Level 2 Instructors. Already Castlebar

Kayak
Club had two Level 3 Instructors and one Level 2 Instructor in the club. As a result of running the
course it means a total of five Instructors and other Trainee Instructors are waiting to be assessed. The Instructor / Student ratio for a Level 2 Instructor is 1:6 on flat water and for a Level 3 Instructor
is 1:8. Due to the ratios the club was always confined in the number of new participants it could
take on in any given year but for the first time ever this year the club ran two introductory courses
and the number of participants in the courses increased dramatically. Also more club members
than ever participated in National Events / Challenges such as The Liffey Descent; The Atlantic Sea
Challenge, The Galway Bay Sea Challenge etc. Castlebar Kayak Club Instructors also work in conjunction with the Special Olympics and five of
the athletes that we train have qualified for the National Special Olympic Event that is to be held in
Limerick in June 2014. The club are optimistic and hopeful that some of these athletes will qualify
for the Special Olympic World Summer Games that are to be held in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

Lots of fun on the first day of the Castlebar Kayak Club Introduction to Kayaking Course (Level 2 Skills). It was great to see all the smiling faces and the participants enjoying this wonderful water sport. Brilliant to see many of our regular paddlers out for a paddle on Lough Lannagh on a lovely, sunny evening 🌞! Looking forward to the next few weeks on the water. 🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️🏞

Kayak pool sessions are brilliant for developing your various rolls and rescues in a safe environment. We usually run these sessions in the Winter/Autumn months when the evenings are shorter. Many thanks to the Leisure Complex at Lough Lannagh for hosting our sessions for 8 weeks last year. These sessions helped to further develop our paddlers skills after completing their Level 2 Kayak Skills course in the summer.👏

Bundorragha River the day after the CKC Christmas Party over a week ago. That's one way of getting rid of a hangover. 🚣🍻 Level was low on the day but lots of fun was had.

Out again today and tomorrow on the Bundorragha to ring in the new year! Looking forward to lots of paddling in 2025 🌊🚣‍♂️🌊

Happy New Year!
