Our lifeguard team are on hand to keep you safe during your splash session. Swimmers must remember that water temperature and weather / wind can affect duration spent in the water. Swimmer ability can be impeded by water temperature / duration and each person has their own limits; our team will actively advise swimmers if they feel swimmer ability/comfort is being impeded.

Those attending the splash session must wear suitable footwear whilst in the water, wetsuits are optional but can be hired from us.

NB: Please note there could be a short walk to the start of the swim course

Weather:

Safety is our number one priority. If weather conditions are poor (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents occur, we reserve the right to restrict activity. Advance notice will be given where possible. However, sometimes decisions must be made at short notice. If we close for activities, we will contact all customers impacted to either reschedule or refund.
