The one question we are most often asked about water activities is if you need to be a good swimmer. In general, the answer is no. However, it's worth pointing out that one of the more intense rafting sessions might not be to your liking if you are not confident around water.
And perhaps there are some watersports activities where it's a good idea to be able to swim short distances like 25m - and of course, you'll be fully kitted up in your buoyancy aid to keep you afloat.
With new, sturdier and safer watercraft coupled with lightweight and technically advanced life vests, the days of having to do capsizing routines in canoes and things are long gone. So in actual fact, you won't get unnecessarily wet on many of these water activities. Having said that, you will need to be prepared to take a few face plants on things like waterski and wakeboard lessons!
Whichever of our huge range of water sports you choose, be assured that all activities are conducted under the supervision of qualified and experienced coaches and instructors.
Many of the waterborne games and sports offered are suitable for children and adults alike, so a day out on the water in complete safety can be for all the family. Question is, will you get drenched or not?!
