Is there a minimum age for lessons?
Suitability depends on the rider's weight, swimming ability, confidence and the day's conditions more than age alone, so the school asks parents to get in touch with specifics for guidance.

Do I need to know how to swim?
Yes, all riders must be competent swimmers who are comfortable in open water.
What if there's no wind during my lesson?
You are not charged for a lesson that does not happen, and rescheduling is arranged within your stay when possible.

Most people need 8 to 12 hours of instruction to ride independently.
