We do everything we can to ensure the safety of our students. For example, students are required to wear a life jacket as soon as they arrive at our location. Don't worry, we provide everyone with life jackets! We also have many standard procedures and rules to ensure safety. All our instructors are aware of these, and there are always additional supervisors to keep an extra eye on things.
