Are you looking for an enjoyable and accessible way to get active on the water?

Thanks to a new partnership with Canoe Wales, AquaPaddle is expanding its reach to bring you free, timed 5km paddle events designed for people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced paddler, AquaPaddle is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, improve your fitness, and connect with a supportive community.


Founded in 2021, AquaPaddle's mission is to share the joy and health benefits of paddleboarding and paddle sports with a wider audience. As a nationwide charity dedicated to promoting physical and mental well-being through paddle sports, AquaPaddle hosts regular 5k events across various UK locations. Participants can paddle at their own pace in a friendly, non-competitive environment, making it an ideal activity for beginners.


In an exciting development, AquaPaddle has partnered with Canoe Wales to further extend its reach. This collaboration will bring AquaPaddle events to the paddling community in Wales, ensuring more people can experience the joy of paddling in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
