Hollingworth Lake Adventure & Water Activity Centre offers complete beginner sessions for both adult and children, or courses for beginners to more advanced sailors and instructors who are looking for qualifications.
Paddlesports: We have a range of paddlesports available for both children and adults to try, from complete beginner to expert. Paddlesports are a great way to a happier, healthier lifestyle. Incorporate paddlesports into your workout routine and enjoy the health benefits of improved cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength while enjoying the relaxed environment of the Lake and it’s stunning scenery.
Kayaking & Canoeing: Kayaking is a perfect way for beginners to start watersports. A kayak is a small, narrow watercraft that is typically propelled by a double-bladed paddle. Canoeing involves users moving through the water on a small craft, designed for either one or two people, with a single-bladed paddle. Choose the right session for you; have fun, improve your technique and enjoy being on the water with friends.
