*The only beginner pre-requisite is being able to swim. This would be 100m of freestyle. We do a number of pool sessions before swimming in the sea so we will be able to give you lots of help and encouragement to get your swimming up to speed.
For cycling Mountain bikes or Hybrids are fine. Helmets are required as we ride on the open road.
