Salford Watersports Centre

Fantastic experience in the sun at Salford Water sports. Spotless facilities and the Monday Club were so kind even though we were newbies. So much choice and very affordable . It was fun to play games and also learn to improve my technique as a novice paddle boarder

Had my 1st introduction to SUP with Ryan as my instructor... after a shaky or wobbly start,  felt like I built up my confidence, paddling, stopping,  turning and board corrections all attempted.  10 out of 10 for Ryan as my instructor , warm friendly greeting , casual chatting putting me at ease and constant observation on the water... thanks Ryan... I will definitely be booking next session to build up more confidence and hone the skills of paddleboard.... also facilities  good.  Changing rooms  , wetsuit hire and buoyancy aids all equipment in excellent condition

What an amazing facility this place is and the staff are truly awesome. I've been swimming outdoors here since November and really look forward to it, wish I'd discovered it earlier. The staff really can't do enough to help, Jason, Jimmy, Sam and Ryan are superstars. Great facilities for all watersports, lovely warm changing rooms. Book in advance to avoid disappointment as it can be very popular. Lots of courses available.
