About Us

Clapham Canoe Club was established in 1990 with financial help from Lambeth Council. The club's main activity is Canoe Polo, which is a bit like waterpolo or basketball in canoes. We also run a Beginners session which is open to the public.

The club is based in Clapham , (South London), where it has run regular pool sessions at Clapham Manor pool since the club started. As from 17/01/10 we will move our polo session to Tooting Leisure Centre and our beginners session to Brixton Recreation centre. This is due to a major renovation of Clapham Pool, which means it will be shut until Nov 2011.

The club has a small membership but there is a hard core of members who have been playing polo regularly with the club since the club began. Our polo team has just been promoted for the first time to Division 2 South in the National Leagues.

We have recently bought 10 new polo/pool trainer kayaks and associated kit, thanks to a lottery award from Awards for All.
