AALA
The Adventure Activities Licensing Scheme is a Government sponsored scheme, which was introduced in 1996 under the Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations. The scheme ensures that those who provide certain adventure activities to young people under the age of 18 years, will have their safety management systems inspected. Lagoon Watersports are inspected by AALA.
Courses
We often work with teachers and schools to deliver after school clubs during term time. These usually run one evening per week and last for around 4-6 weeks. The children are able to gain RYA qualifications during these courses. Our onsite Onboard Officer Mark Saul is always happy to help with promotion and is happy to visit schools and take part in assemblies.
Curriculum Time
We are always happy to try and help link sailing and windsurfing to the curriculum. If you want to arrange a course during school time then Lagoon Watersports are usually able to offer special off peak rates during the school day.
Assemblies
Our staff are passionate about sailing and windsurfing so are happy to deliver an assembly to small groups or year groups.
Heath and safety
