Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

What should I bring?

Bring clothes suitable for on the water—swimwear, wetsuit or water‑friendly attire—plus a towel and closed‑toe water shoes; the exact list can be adjusted for the season.

Can I hire a wetsuit?

Yes — if you would like to hire a wetsuit the cost is £5 per person.

Can I use a waterproof camera?

Waterproof cameras are permitted but must be secured by a chest harness; the operator cannot accept responsibility for lost devices and the water can be deep in excess of 3 m.

Will I see wildlife on the lakes?

There are ducks and geese around the lakes and fish of various sizes in the water.

What happens in bad weather?

Rain is permitted and sessions typically proceed; if lightning is overhead the operator will pause activities and resume once the storm has passed, which may delay later sessions.
