Any pair of ranked paddlers can get together and race at Div 2, Div 3 and Div 4 events, but if you want to do C2 at Prem and Div 1 races you must apply for a C2 ranking.

Selection Announcement – 17th May 2022
International Slalom School Summer Holiday Training Camp - Argentière-la-Bessée
The England Slalom Talent Programme will be running a Slalom School summer holiday training camp at Argentière-la-Bessée from 1st - 5th August.
The coaching team will be joined by two-time Olympian Fiona Pennie. With nearly 30 years of experience in the sport, winning medals at Junior, U23 and Senior World and European events, Fiona will be with the coaching team for the week. She will share her sporting knowledge and her athlete experience, and running boat repair masterclasses during the camp.
So if you want to rub shoulders with an Olympian and learn from her experience, join our Slalom School Summer training camp! More details about the camp and how to book are available HERE>
We hope that English clubs will join this training camp in support of their own paddlers. Programme coaches will work collaboratively with club coaches on a joint training programme across the week. If you wish to attend separately from your club and you fulfil the Slalom School eligibility criteria then please SIGN UP HERE. We encourage early confirmation.
If you do not currently fulfil the Slalom School eligibility criteria then please directly email and I will put you on a waiting list until we can confirm whether there will be an appropriate coach to paddler support ratio.
