For organisations
Do you work with a school, charity or other group for people with physical disabilities or learning difficulties? Are you looking for a fun, energetic group activity?
The BDWSA works with many organisations (see ‘our friends’) to introduce and run group water skiing and wakeboarding sessions.
Much of the BDWSA’s time is dedicated to running courses tailored to the requirements of each individual group. Initially we will work with you to plan the session, understanding the particular requirements of your group, providing an assessment of the kind of activities that would be most appropriate and outlining a schedule for the session. This may be a full range of skiing activities for some groups or a range of inflatable or boat rides for others.
For all of groups equipment is provided including wetsuits (or drysuits), buoyancy aids, helmets and a comprehensive range of skis and wakeboards for both regular or seated skiing, as well as bananas and other towed inflatables . Complimenting the basics is a range of adaptive equipment developed over 20 years by the BDWSA to accelerate the learning process including the Triple bar and Delga sling.
Group sessions can be individually booked or can become a regular event in a group’s calendar during the months from April to September and generally between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday. Interested? Why not come along to one of our open days or visit and see another course in action?
Why not make a weekend of it?
