SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR WATERSPORTS ACTIVITIES
The practice of watersports activities is subject to providing a document proving you have passed a swimming aptitude test (as named in Article 3 of the Order of April 25, 2012.)
• The group leader is required to certify to the centre that all minors have passed this test. If he/she is not in possession of these documents, the Cercle Nautique will not be able to provide the watersports activity.
• For activities at the lake, for health and safety reasons, participants are required to wear a T-shirt under the life jacket as well as closed shoes.
• We remind you that the sports instructor does not take responsibility for the group management. The presence of a group leader, in addition to the instructor, is therefore essential.
