Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session is suited to — and who should think twice.

1
Active FamiliesGreat for families with children who enjoy active, coached water play provided each child meets the swim and paperwork requirements.
2
Confident Young SwimmersAn ideal match for children who can swim 100 metres unassisted and are comfortable in the water — the class assumes basic swimming ability.
3
Beginners to SUP (but able swimmers)Suitable for kids new to paddleboarding as long as they meet the swim competency and clothing/consent requirements; instruction begins with fundamentals.
4
Non‑swimmers & very young childrenNot suitable — the operator requires confident swimmers and a parent‑signed indemnity, so non‑swimmers should not attend.
