Frequently asked questions

Do students need to be strong swimmers?
Students should be comfortable in water and be able to swim at least 50m. We operate in waist-to-chest depth water and adapt sessions accordingly based on student ability and weather conditions.

What should students bring?
Swimwear to wear under the wetsuit, towel, sunscreen, and lots of energy!.

What happens in poor weather?
We continuously assess conditions. If sea conditions are unsuitable, we will rearrange your session.

How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking early for summer term availability. We are very busy during holiday times.
