Things to Bring...

This is a guideline for you and is not obligatory.

Clothing:

  • Shorts, t-shirts, sarongs, summer dresses
  • Sandals and closed toe shoes for evening
  • Long sleeved shirts and pants for evening
  • Jacket, jersey or windbreaker in case it gets chilly
  • Windbreaker, anorak or dry mac for the boat if it is windy. This is essential if you feel the cold, and please leave your fashion gear at home as it will get wet and salty. Bring something old and warm to snuggle into after an invigorating swim.
  • Swimming costume and towel
  • LADIES - There is no graceful way to get into the boat, so please bring along some broadshorts, long shorts, or lycra leggings  to wear to preserve your diginity, and ensure your swimming costume fits well.
