Whilst on a Wild Paddle Berkshire tour it is vital that you observe the instructors safety guidance for your safety and the safety of others.
There is an element of risk with any water sport, and the instructor is there for your safety, so their instructions must be followed to avoid exposure to any unnecessary risks. Please ensure you declare any medical issues/medication, you are aware that your fitness is suitable for the sport you wish to try, you are capable of swimming back to your gear and must not participate in any lesson under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
