With summer finally starting to heat up, cool off with a visit to South Lake Watersports and have a splashing day out with family and friends!
Speed boat ride and inflatable fun!
A new addition to the getactiveabc summer programme, climb aboard for an exhilarating ride out to the inflatable obstacle course, safely floating and secured on the lake, where aqua action awaits!
Bounce your way over the mighty Neptune, pull yourself across the monkey bars, step over the tricky hurdle or just bomb into the water from here, there or anywhere!
Enjoy Craigavon City Park from the water, taking in scenic views as you power across the lake before returning to dry land.
Kayak and paddleboard hire
Float your own boat with tandem kayaks, Canadian canoes, paddleboards and MEGA paddleboards hire, available throughout July and August (and beyond)!
This is ideal for anyone keen to dip their toes into watersports for the first time, as well as the seasoned pro keen to cruise around the lake!
The good news is that watersports equipment hire is free for getactiveabc single, family and corporate members; simply book on the getactiveabc app!
Watersports courses
Qualified BCU/CANI Instructors will steer you in the right direction with the 2 hour ‘Learn to Kayak/Canoe/Paddle’ sessions, suitable for juniors (8-15 years), adults and families!
The ‘Junior Learn to Paddle Week’ (10-16 years) is an opportunity to gain the Start, Discover & Paddle Safer qualification from Paddle UK.
The Level 1 RYA Powerboating provides a practical introduction to boat handling and safety in powerboats and a certificate and logbook will be issued upon completion of the course.
This course offers the best of both worlds – the leisurely pace of a gentle cruise and the thrill of zipping across the open water!
Junior watersports multi-activity days
Kids can unleash their wild side (under the supervision of an Outdoor Pursuits Instructor) on land and water with wet and dry activities such as testing their balance on the aqua inflatable, hitting the target in archery, trekking the trails around Craigavon City Park on a mountain bike, and exploring the lakes by paddleboard, kayak or canoe.
July dates are fully booked but there is availability in August!
Other water activities coming up include four-week courses for Pilates on the Lake (Wednesday August 7) and Yoga on the Lake (Saturday August 3).
Kayak, paddleboard and bike hire, and the new speed boat ride and aqua inflatable package are all part of getactiveabc single, family and corporate membership packages.
Members and non-members can enjoy an action-packed a day at Craigavon Lakes by pre-booking activities online using the getactiveabc app or by visiting getactiveabc.com/watersports.
The boat ride and aqua inflatable package is bookable from 8pm on Saturday August 3.
