Salford Watersports Centre

Brought 3 grandsons for a summer session.  They loved it and found something they enjoyed apart from tech! Supervision great and a variety of activities.  Wish we lived nearer but we will return

Had a nice swim here at the weekend (August). Water was lovely and there was plenty of safety staff on duty. Quays are fresh water fed from several rivers and the swim dock is dye treated to restrict algae growth. Water was clear, clean and a lovely temperature .

My daughter and her friend did the 2 day level 1 sailing course and loved it. To have these water sports opportunities in the middle of a City is fantastic.
