Insider tips

Bring a change of clothes and a towel as getting wet is guaranteed.

Water shoes are highly recommended to provide grip on inflatable obstacles and protect feet from the lake bed.

Do not attempt the obstacles if you are not a confident swimmer; avoid wearing cotton clothing which becomes heavy and restrictive when wet.
