Stand up paddle (SUP) is an activity where falling in the water (immersion) is likely. For safety reasons, we require all non-swimming renters at our Lake Edith location to be accompanied by an adult paddling buddy with strong swim skills. To increase accessibility for non-swimmers traveling solo or without a confident companion to join them, we offer a special non-swimmer private lesson rates aimed at folks who are Black, Indigenous, recent immigrants, and/or disable.
Sliding scale rates for Indigenous peoples, recent immigrants, youth, POC, disabled folk, or folks in addiction recovery available via confidential email request directly to our course director at sup@translucidadventures.com.
