Your safety and happiness are the most important focus of our centre. We entertain and teach in a relaxed and fun way with small children and may push the teens a little harder to achieve their goals. Our purpose built centre gives all our clients a comfortable and warm base with hot showers, changing rooms, toilets, lecture room and dining room as well as plenty of space outside for picnicing and relaxing. All our students are supervised and we expect them to adhere to some simple rules with regards to floatation devices and no go areas.
