New members are very welcome here at Lincoln Canoe Club, which is one of the best-known canoe clubs in the country.
Lincoln's sheltered waterways are ideal for beginners and racing champions alike. Introductory courses are available during the spring and summer for those who have not canoed before.
The Club's premises are wonderfully situated on the south bank of the picturesque Brayford Pool, to the east of the University of Lincoln, and members have immediate access to the water from the Club's own landing stage.

The Club's magnificent building, which houses a comprehensive range of equipment and facilities, was opened in 1996 by the Queen - a tribute to a history of nearly 40 years of successful canoeing!
Lincoln Canoe Club has a distinguished record. The Honours Boards record many years of international competition. The Chairman, Laurence Oliver, has competed in 3 Olympic Games. His wisdom and advice, along with that of many other experienced members, is readily available to new paddlers.
The Club is successful in racing but encourages all forms of canoeing. There are many members who canoe recreationally. Membership is possible from the age of 11, or younger if accompanied by a parent. There is no upper age limit, and a formidable record to beat! (see below)
