More advanced courses are also held for those seeking more knowledge up to club racing standard. Boats and life jackets will be provided by the Club for training. Your own shoes, sun hat, sunscreen, water and towel are necessary items to bring with you. If you are a non or weak swimmer please advise the instructor each time you go on board. The Club canteen will operate during the day for food and refreshments. The programs for Adults and Children are held on Saturdays from 9am to 11.30 am and run for six (6) weeks.
