Eligibility

Courses are only available to members of Loch Venachar SC. Students and children under 16 can participate by paying a supplement which is equivalent of their category of membership. Students in full etime education need only pay the same rate as children 12-16 (student membership)

Fees

Each course must be paid in full 6 weeks prior to the course.
If the application is less than 6 weeks from the commencement of the course, the fees are due before the application can be accepted.

It is strongly recommended that all those participating should be able to swim
or are confident in the water.

Course Notes

All courses are held at the club, starting at 9:15 am and finishing at 5:00pm.
As the courses are intensive in nature, it is essential that you ensure that you are available for the duration of the course.

Clothing

For basic courses there is no need to rush out and buy a wet suit.
A change of clothing and a towel are all you require. A light, waterproof jacket and trousers are a good idea.
For your feet, wet boots if you have them, but an old pair of trainers that you don't mind getting wet will do.
(Best to bring lots of socks!!!!).

You will be required to wear a buoyancy aid when on the water.
A supply of these is available for students.

NB. It can get very cold on the water so dress warmly. Layers are best. Denims are definitely not recommended.

Food

Hot drinks are included throughout the course but you should bring your own lunch as catering is not always available.
