Canoe polo taster

Tried one of our kayaking tasters? Now try something a little more chaotic… canoe polo! 🛶🏐

Possibly the most unusual sport the university competes in, and definitely one of the most fun.

Think basketball, but in kayaks, with a little dose of rugby. You’ll be paddling, passing, shooting and trying to score in a goal suspended above the water - all while attempting to stop the other team doing the same.

Still not quite sure what canoe polo actually is? This video should give you a better idea: A Beginners' Guide to Canoe Polo

Before coming to a canoe polo taster, you’ll need to:

• Have completed the university swim test

• Have attended at least one general kayaking taster (or preferably a couple!) so you can get comfortable in a kayak and pick up some basic paddling skills.

Taster session details:

• Held in the university pool in the STV throughout Freshers’ Week and the two following weeks.

• What to bring: a swimming costume, shorts and T-shirt to wear in the pool, plus a towel and change of clothes for afterwards.

• Where to meet: outside the STV entrance 15 minutes before your session — look for the paddles!

• All equipment provided.
