Set up in 1936 to send a team to the Berlin Olympics, the British Canoe Union (BCU) is the lead body for canoeing and kayaking in the UK. Since then the organisation has grown considerably, and the range of canoeing and kayaking opportunity has increased tremendously.  It represents the interests of paddlers at local, national and international level, and is a member of the International Canoe Federation.  The BCU now has a strong presence in the United States.
