Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What should we wear?
Wear a secure bathing suit or board shorts and a Rash Guard/Lycra shirt to protect from sun and skin irritation.
What should I bring?
Bring basic items like a towel and a water bottle; sunscreen should be applied before leaving home so it has time to dry.
Is sunscreen necessary?
Yes — the operator promotes using sunscreen for skin protection; you may reapply during the break as necessary.
What should I eat beforehand?
Eat a healthy, non-greasy light meal beforehand (for example cereal, toast, or pancakes) so it has time to settle.
Should I pack any snacks?
Watermelon is provided on breaks; you may bring a light snack like crackers if needed.
Should my parents stay or can they leave?
Parents are welcome to stay or may leave and should return about 15 minutes before the end of the session; the program requires listening and trust from participants.
How soon can I start?
You can start right away; the operator offers private lessons, brush-up sessions and group parties for all ages—contact them to get started.
