If you have some basic kayaking skills, you can try canoe polo.

You could be joining us at our next competition! Or you can stick to playing just for fun.

Our Friday evening chilled out polo sessions are the perfect way to get started and see if it's for you. Message on Facebook for more details or email [email protected].

Four Forth teams at the canoe polo Scottish leagues this year!

We had a record number of teams attend both weekends, and we came away with three medals across three divisions.

Feeling very proud of every single person with the Forth crest on, what an effort 💪

All members welcome, we're really keen to see kids, teens and families on this training, free to our members, to give you confidence staying safe on the water.

We'll talk about what kit keeps you warm on the water without spending a fortune, essential safety kit, when and where it's safe to paddle. There will be plenty of opportunity to practise capsize and self rescue!

Booking link in club email.

Bring a change of clothes, you're going to get wet!
