What you will need
You will need to have a reasonable level of fitness - you need to be able to swim reasonably well if the boat capsizes. An ability to swim at least 25m is recommended. You will also need to have sufficient strength to pull yourself out of the water with wet clothing on. This means you will need good upper body strength which matches your physique and weight.

What is provided
A course manual and the use of club boats and safety equipment (life jackets) is provided.
