ABOUT OUR CLUB
We are a competitive and recreational paddling club located on beautiful Bell Lake in Dartmouth.
We offer paddling lessons on a lake that you won't have to share with anyone else! Our coaching staff offer the best training on and off the water.
Lifeguards watch over our wonderful swimming area. Royal Life Swim Lessons are also offered throughout the summer, and won't interfere with your paddling!
A friendly reminder that we do not have day camps or provide babysitters.
