Geelong Canoe Club is a thriving paddle sports club on the banks of the Barwon River, a few minutes from Geelong.

We provide facilities to a diverse range of paddlers and groups who are integral to the future of a variety of paddling disciplines – both recreational and competition.

New paddlers are always welcome and will be introduced to the facilities and surrounding waterways.

A fleet of beginner and intermediate club-owned craft is available for introductory session participants and club members to use.

Access to training facilities, allocated craft storage, meeting rooms and change facilities are open to members year round, 7 days a week.

Geelong Canoe Club acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our site is located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, recognising their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community.

If your child is eligible you can get up to $200 to help them be more active. Your child can join one of our kayaking programs or pay for membership with our club. You can even apply for a reimbursement if you've already paid for membership. Be quick before the funds run out. · Read more
