A beginner’s course for those who have not snorkelled before and all abilities who would benefit from extra assistance. The lessons are fully inclusive and we encourage people living with disability, autism, and those of all ages and abilities who would benefit from extra assistance to learn and practice basic snorkelling techniques to ensure a safe and enjoyable first snorkel experience. Many first-time snorkelers have requested this extra tuition after struggling with snorkel skills on their first ocean experience or choosing not to snorkel with family and friends due to a lack of skill and confidence.
NOTE: Due to closure of Adelaide Aquatic Centre we will be moving our pool 101 sessions to either Parks Recreation and Sports Centre or Thebarton Aquatic Centre - to be confirmed
