Canoe Association Baden-Württemberg
The Canoe Association Baden-Württemberg eV (KVBW) represents the interests of the canoe clubs in Baden-Württemberg. The association based in Stuttgart was created in 2012 from the merger of the Badischer Kanu-Verband with the Kanu-Verband Württemberg . With the entry in the Stuttgart register of associations on August 16, 2012, the merger became legally binding.
The KVBW is a member of the German Canoe Association . 108 clubs are currently organized in the association. The office of the Canoe Association Baden-Württemberg is located in Singen on Lake Constance.
Main areas of activity
Recreational sports
The majority of the members are active in recreational canoeing (especially white water rafting and canoeing ). The association organizes annual events that are advertised in the sports program of the German Canoe Association. One of the main concerns of the association is the protection of waters and ensuring that they can be used by canoeists. In view of the numerous navigation regulations for nature conservation reasons for the waters of Baden-Württemberg, the experts at the KVBW are trying to reach amicable regulations with the authorities involved and have thus been able to achieve acceptable regulations for canoeing for some river sections instead of rigorous full closures.
competitive sport
Canoe-performance sports athletes start from Baden-Wuerttemberg in canoe racing , canoe slalom , canoe dragon boat , canoe polo and canoe freestyle successful.
Canoe training and trainer training
The clubs offer numerous canoe courses for beginners and advanced, in which non-members can usually also take part. This also includes special courses for acquiring the five-level European paddle pass . The KVBW itself conducts license courses for technical instructors and trainers.
societies
Many of the 108 canoe associations in Baden-Württemberg are run by the German Canoe Association with the award “Active Canoe Association” or, as DKV canoe stations, make their boathouses and club grounds available to other canoeists to stay overnight.
