Book for mid-morning or late afternoon
Wind often increases midday; early or late sessions can be steadier for practice and comfort.
Bring identification and a dry change
Lockers are limited on the beach—pack a dry bag and ID if you plan to explore town after your lesson.
Know your swim comfort
You should be comfortable in waist- to chest-deep water and able to tread water; instructors expect basic swimming ability.
Protect against the sun and wind
High UV and reflective sand mean broad-spectrum sunscreen and a buff or rash guard are practical, even on cloudy days.
Light wetsuit (3/2 or 4/3)
Keeps you warm during spring and autumn sessions in cooler Atlantic water.
