Canoe polo is an exciting (and tiring) game played with 5 players and up to 3 subs. The aim of the game being to get the ball into your opponents net as many times as possible. Typically a game lasts for around 5-10 minutes each way. Bristol University Canoe Club takes part in several tournaments each year.

Bristol Canoe Club are proud to have two county players on the team, Naomi Cambridge and Dan Adams are both members of Avon Canoe Polo teams. Our coach Caroline is also a member of Avon Ladies.

The team played valiantly in the 2001 canoe polo tournament though unfortunately were knocked out on the Saturday, leaving Saturday night to attempt to drink the bar dry and Sunday free for learning to break into the club minibus and hunt for the keys!! (cheers for that Robin!!)
