“Fantastic course to get you on the water and gaining confidence regardless of your experience. Thanks so much for another great experience.”

Gillian Donaghy

“My daughter had a lesson with Sian at the Lagoon last week, learning to paddle board, which she absolutely loved. The staff were really friendly and put her at ease and she was soon standing on the board and feeling confident. I would highly recommend the Lagoon to any learner and all the children were having a great time there. Thanks to everyone concerned!”
