HINCKLEY WATER ACTIVITIES TRAINING CENTRE

Hinckley Water Activities Training Centre or HWATC, are a community focussed water sports centre based in Hinckley, Leicestershire - which offers kayaking, canoeing and outdoor activities to individuals and groups.

The centre is a voluntary based organisation which focuses its work on getting the local community on the water to enjoy the sport!

The centre is situated in a superb location, with private use of a lake and easy access onto the nearby Ashby Canal. Both of these offer our paddlers excellent waters to try our activities in a peaceful, safe and controlled environment.

We operate a newcomers/members paddling session every Thursday evening throughout the summer months, which offers a great opportunity for newcomers and families to enjoy the water. We also run a number of sessions throughout the summer months.

Our services are available to individuals, families, groups and corporate groups e.g Scouts, Guides, Schools, Youth Groups, Duke of Edinburgh's Groups.
