Course Information
This weekly session really focuses on development of the skills needed to control your craft; with a focus on being ON the water with some IN, depending on weather forecast. This is a great opportunity to pick up a sport that has so many benefits; increased blood flow, flexibility. skill enhancement. motor control, nature information and physics etc... whilst getting you out and active in nature. If your participant- or the one you are looking after- has previously required one-to-one support, it would be expected that this is discussed before the session and, for those pastoral reasons, an adult potentially attend the session for their welfare.
Booking Policys
- Minimum age of a participant is 8yrs old. - If the participant is U18, a parent/ carer will need to directly drop off/ pick up the participant and complete their activity form. I understand that the Emergency Number provided should be someone who is able to immediately collect or respond to the participant's needs, should something arise. - Please see our full Booking Terms and Conditions on our website to see our refund policy. **Southwater Watersports Ltd reserves the right to refuse activities to any person deemed unsuitable/ unsafe** - HDC (Horsham District Council) in partnership with Southwater Watersports Ltd maintains supervision of the Cripplegate Lake and surrounding area, but as a large body of untreated open water hosting a range of wildlife, factors beyond our control may create an unsuitable environment for watersports. In such circumstances the council reserves the right to close the lake to watersports activities. The lake water can also have varying bacterial levels which cannot be controlled and so people who take part in watersports at the lake should, therefore, be aware for the inherent risks associated with inland open water, such as Leptospirosis (Weil's' Disease) and the Council or Southwater Watersports Ltd cannot be held liable for any ill health resulting from such activity. - All participant's and their parent/ carer need to be completely aware that there can be a risk to injury doing any watersports. All participant's nor parent/ carers will not hold, in any way, anybody from Southwater Watersports Ltd responsible for any injury/ accident while doing the watersports that is offered by them, unless they were negligent. All participants need to be reasonably fit to take part in the activity they wish to do. Southwater Watersports Ltd operate with their Safeguarding Policy to look after and support Child safety and Adults at risk. **Clothing: Participants will be provided safety equipment, which may include wetsuits, but as a minimum they will be expected to have a T-Shirt, shorts/ swimwear, a full change of clothes and secure footwear to go on the crafts**
