coaches at Arawa

---

"My name is Dylan Neal-Hill, and I’m one of the coaches at Arawa Canoe Club. I've been a proud member of Arawa for over 10 years and have been coaching since 2020. As an ex-competitive sprint kayaker, I’m excited to share my love for this amazing sport with others.

I work with a diverse group of over 30 paddlers, from beginners learning to stay upright to high-performance junior world athletes. My passion lies in helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve their full potential, whether they're just starting out or competing at an international level.

In addition to being a kayak coach, I am also deeply involved in surf lifesaving, another passion of mine. I work with many athletes who compete in both kayaking and surf lifesaving, giving me a unique perspective on the balance required to excel in both sports. This dual involvement allows me to support and guide athletes in achieving their best performance across both disciplines, ensuring they have the skills and stamina needed for success.

I currently run a free beginners session every Saturday at 3 PM, and everyone is welcome. If you're interested in joining, please contact me to confirm your attendance. Come on down to Arawa and start your kayaking journey with us!"
