Watersports fun days
Multi activity Watersports days are the prefect way to spend the day at Swansea Watersports and is a popular choice with schools with groups of all ages. It allows the young people a chance to experience the thrill and challenge of more than one activity over the period of the day. The main aim is for the children to develop water confidence and safe skills and above all have fun.
The time spent on each activity can be tailored to suit the needs of your group, but will also provide enough time to achieve a reasonable level of success.
A typical Watersports days would consist of 3 activities chosen from windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, dinghy sailing or team building with each session lasting approximately 1 hour.
A group photo will be taken at the end of the day with the distribution of fun certificates
Taster days
The taster day is made up of both land and water based activities. The aim is to introduce children to some of the skills and knowledge they will need to get the relevant national governing body qualifications. The choice of activities includes Sailing, kayaking, abseiling, Coasteering, gorge walking, hill walking and mountaineering, improvised rafting, open canoeing, rock climbing and windsurfing. The choice of activities is up to you, with a minimum choice to 2.The emphasis of the day can be either team work or individual success, both will be great fun with a competitive edge. The level of difficulty can be tailored to suit the age, nature and ability of your school group, it is therefore important that you discuss this with the centre well in advance so we can cater for your requirements.
