What are the adult to child ratios for this activity?
There will be a 1:8 adult to child ratio for each watersport session.
What risk assessment have been made for this activity?
We mitigated the risks and potential hazards travelling to and from the destination via public transport. Once on site and taking part in all water-based activity the Wimbledon Park Watersports Centre staff have their own extensive risk assessment.
Safety Briefing – The children will have a water safety briefing every session before starting their activity. They will also wear a buoyancy aid before stepping out on the their kayak, boat or raft.
Falling in the water – there is every risk that a child could fall in the water, however the lake is not particularly deep and there are no strong currents present to pull them under the water. The children have the added safety of a buoyancy aid which will allow them to float on the surface with their head above water if indeed they do happen to fall in, and there will always be an instructor and lifeguard on standby throughout the session. That being said, the children will in all likelihood still get wet therefore a full change of clothes is essential.
