A lively club session to wrap up our latest Level 2 Kayak Skills course and bring together our newest paddlers with Club members.

Games galore, plenty of laughs, and we were delighted to present Canoeing Ireland Level 2 Kayak Skills certificates to three fantastic ladies from our very first adult beginners course.

Huge Congratulations to Roisin, Nicole and Sanne 👏🔥

The ladies are starting to take over Monaghan Paddlers — and we are absolutely here for it! 🙌 🚣‍♀️

The effort and energy at sessions lately has been brilliant, with the competitive spirit definitely showing 😆

Over the past few sessions we’ve been working on X-rescues, T-rescues and self rescues, with great teamwork and encouragement from everyone on the water 👏

A special mention to two of our youngest members, Seàn (12) and Ruby (10), who were flying it on the self rescues and showing everyone exactly how it’s done 💪

Get Out on the Water to Relax

No noise. No rush. Just you, the water, and a moment to breathe.

Paddling is one of the simplest ways to slow things down and feel better.

Great start to our latest Beginner Level 2 Kayak Skills course 👏

After getting kitted out and learning the basics on land, we hit the water 🚣‍♂️

We covered key strokes, built confidence with a few laps, and even squeezed in a race — girl power! 💥

To finish, everyone practiced capsizing and safely swimming to the edge 💪

Brilliant effort all round!
