You must feel happy to be in an inland natural water environment (canal, river or lake) and able to swim a minimum of 25 metres. I AM AFRAID OF MAKING A FOOL OF MYSELF! Don’t be! This course is delivered at your pace, in a kind and supportive environment. The great thing about paddle boarding is you don't even have to stand up!! If you want to sit or kneel - fabulous! WHY IS THIS GROUP KEPT TO A MAXIMUM OF 4? By keeping my groups small, I can support you individually, answer all your questions, develop your paddleboarding skills and ensure you come off the water smiling, relaxed and feeling happy. And you will always have a HUGE splash of laughter! WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I PROVIDE? Wetsuit, paddleboard, quick release waist leash, buoyancy aid & paddle. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? £49.00 (includes your parking & water fee). ARE THERE FACILITIES? Toilet, changing rooms and parking on site. ACCESS? Very easy - grass area & bank, jetty & walk in slope. NOT SURE WHETHER YOU HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH, BALANCE OR MOBILITY? Please do get in touch prior too booking and let's have a chat about how best I can support you via hello@wotbikinipaddleboarding.co.uk. WHY IS THIS SESSION FOR WOMEN ONLY? I find many women I support have identified they feel relaxed and have increased levels of confidence when learning in a women only space.
