Things To Know
For Students
You will have fun
There are all sorts of reasons you will go to this course. They are about safety in the water, and developing your abilities and skills, and stuff like that. But none of that will work unless you are also enjoying yourself. That's what we do.
You will be challenged
You will do things that are new, and some of them are a bit scary at first. But here's the deal. We won't force you into anything. If you really don't want to try something, we will respect that. It can wait.
You will be safe
The classes are small. The instructors are experienced and trained. There's a support boat cruising around watching and helping if needed. If it's cold you will wear a wet-suit. You will wear a life-jacket. It's a good chance to have a go, and feel that sense of achievement.
