New and lapsed (> two years) members must attend club inductions when joining.
Attending club inductions increases the safety of members and equipment, and enhances the smooth running of the club. You do not have to attend an induction session before participating in activities on the UQ pool (canoe polo, pool training, and/or swim tests). However, you do need to be a member of the club.
If you are not able to attend induction sessions or there are none scheduled, please request an induction and arrange an alternative time.
We will show you where to find out about trips, social activities and training sessions. Please bring some identification (eg. student/staff card or driver’s licence) and your UQ sport swim test certificate! Put the certificate on your phone now!
- On-water club induction (for members and visitors) This induction introduces members to paddling on the river including safety procedures and what to do when taking a boat onto the river.

Club visitors are welcome to attend an on-water induction as a method of trying out paddling, talking to members, and seeing what the club has to offer.
