Opening Times
The club is always available for use by members within the possible options explained here. The changing rooms, toilets and showers downstairs are always available via keypad access.
Day Membership - a 'Day Pass' for non-members - is available within the scheduled club session times below.
Safety cover is available during the scheduled casual watersports sessions on the club calendar. The levels of cover provided are set out in the club Water Safety Policy as a minimum, a powerboat will be on the water, with a crew ready to respond as necessary from the pontoon. During organised activity, such as club racing, the safety boat will be patrolling the water.

Outside of times of safety cover provision, members may use the club on a 'Buddy System' basis. No safety boat is provided. Members may go afloat in groups of two craft or more, taking extra consideration of their own ability, the suitability of their craft, and the weather conditions. Water users should be especially aware of the limitations of rescues whilst buddying (e.g. a sailing dinghy would be unlikely to tow another sailing dinghy ashore in the event of gear failure). Members should be aware of their abilities and limitations to return other water users to shore (e.g. a windsurfer would be unlikely to be able to recover a person in the water and return them back to shore).
