How does it work?
The activity lasts for 45 minutes on certain week day evenings in July / August. Registration is limited to two groups.
Arnaud, the instructor from Takaplonger, provides the wetsuits to each participant and explains the role of the equipment and how it all works. Firstly, you will practice breathing first out of the water and then afterwards underwater. Arnaud takes the time to accompany each child individually in order to help them evolve underwater in complete safety.
When everyone is confident with the equipment and how it works, we venture from the shallow end/ the small pool, into the larger pool and your children will discover our swimming pools in a new light!
