I am sure you will agree that we are in uncharted waters at the moment, COVID-19 is affecting everybody and everything but we would like to reassure you that we are still very much open for business as usual, and are working extremely hard to remain that way.
We feel we have an important role to play in improving people’s physical as well as mental health in this difficult and turbulent time. If we continue to provide activities that people, especially young people, we can promote a healthy, active lifestyle and more importantly maintain a sense of normality. Our mission statement is, after all, “Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for water-related activities for the public benefit in the interest of social welfare.”
In regards to bookings, we are not planning to cancel any courses or activities until such time as either the Government announces measures that prohibit us from operating or staff absences make activities unsafe.
We understand that things are changing every day so we have made an amendment to our usual terms and conditions so that if you are unable to attend a course you will be able to transfer to one later in the year free-of-charge.
The safety of our users is our priority and have implemented a number of measures to protect you, details of which are attached.
We are looking to encourage people to be active during these times so we have extended our Open Sessions to 1000 – 1630 on weekdays in addition to weekends. During Open Sessions, anyone aged 5 or above is welcome to come along and participate in Stand-Up Paddleboarding or Sit-On-Top kayaking. Please find more information from the links below:

If you have any questions please contact us on 020 7537 2626 or alternatively email us at info@dswc.org
Finally, If you feel unwell for any reason we respectfully request that you do not attend the Centre for 14 days, we would also ask that you inform us if you have recently been to the Centre and exhibit any of the COVID-19 symptoms.
Thank you
