Overview

Water sports groups can enjoy action packed trips to the South of France.

The programmes and courses are designed for the complete beginner without previous knowledge or experience. In fact, all you need is an ability to swim.

Your group will be in the hands of a carefully chosen team of well qualified instructors who will provide confidence for both you and your students. Everyone will be encouraged to get the most out of each activity and enjoy learning new skills whilst accepting new challenges.

Our preferred accommodation is based at Port d'Albert on the Atlantic Aquitaine coast and Hyeres, located to the east of Marseille on the Mediterranean Sea.
