Schools & Youth Groups

Further to some healthy interest from a couple of Schools Sports Co-ordinators towards the end of our 2009 season, we have taken the decision to work more closely with Schools and Youth Groups in 2010. Our aim is to offer discounted sessions Monday-Friday 10am - 4pm. Depending on your location (and the conditions on the day) we can offer a number of local paddling locations including Tynemouth, South Shields, Killingworth Lake, Derwent Walk and Newburn (River Tyne). If you'd like to arrange a school or group paddle in Northumberland, Teesside or County Durham, please get in touch through our contact form.

Sessions last 75 mins and all equipment is provided.

For safety reasons we ask that a member of staff/another adult* participates in the activity and that all under 18's can swim a minimum of 50m.

We can accommodate a maximum of 12 children.

We charge a set rate of £100 for local sessions (which excludes VAT at 17.5%).

Risk Assessments for each location can be forwarded in advance if required.

Boardskillz has £5M of public liability insurance in place, all our instructors have current CRB checks and First Aid qualifications in place.
