    The Island

    ENTER

    The Island is an introduction to open water lake swimming because not everyone can swim a distance in deep water. It freaks some people out !

     

    You get to visit the island under your own steam and you know what? You can jump off the jetty a few times and run about the island looking for 'things' then get a lift back. And ... you are gonna love the boat@!

     

    You will also get the chance to jump off the jetty and get a picture. It's going to be great!

     

    'The Island' is wholly based on the notion of providing an extremely safe environment to push your fears about deep water away - and make real progress in your swim ability supported by a veritable armada of floating friendly people.
