The HLSTC Bar will be open over lunch times when course are running. There is a selection of hot and cold drinks, snacks and crisps available. You will need to bring a packed lunch and a water bottle which can be re-filled. There are picnic benches on the terrace and club house seating.
Use of wetsuits and buoyancy aids is included in the course fee. Students must come with sufficient other suitable clothing for the conditions. This must include suitable footwear which you don’t mind getting wet and which will stay on if you are in the water. Footwear must have a closed toe and be reasonably non-slip. Old trainers are OK, as are neoprene beach-shoes or ‘wet-suit’ boots. Sandals, ‘Crocs’ or wellies are not suitable. If it is going to be sunny, please think about sun-cream and maybe a cap and/or sunglasses. If you are going to wear sunglasses, or prescription glasses, please bring a strap or cord to prevent them being lost in the event of a swim!
All of our activities can be enjoyed by a very wide range of ages and abilities and it is our intention to make the activities we offer as inclusive as possible. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that we are aware of any significant health or physical issues. We are happy to discuss the needs of individuals and offer advice, however the final decision to take part rests with you. If you have any concerns regarding your fitness to take part in your chosen activity, you are advised to seek medical advice. By making a booking it is assumed that you are declaring yourself physically capable of taking part in that activity. Prior to the course, each participant will be asked to complete a simple consent form/medical and emergency contact questionnaire.
Students are advised not to leave valuables in the changing rooms, and there are small lockers available for this purpose. Expensive items that are not essential should be left at home.
We are based in Camberley, Surrey, located next to 3 RSME Regiment Gibraltar Barracks, on a private road accessible from Minley Road.
If you are using a sat nav, our normal post code will take you to Gibraltar Barracks. Use GU17 9UD to get to our approach road.
Cars are not permitted in club grounds except for disabled users. Parking is available outside the club’s main gate.

Any other arrangements will be agreed between a senior member of HLSTC staff and Parents/Carers.
