Salford Watersports Centre

Had a nice swim here at the weekend (August). Water was lovely and there was plenty of safety staff on duty. Quays are fresh water fed from several rivers and the swim dock is dye treated to restrict algae growth. Water was clear, clean and a lovely temperature .

My daughter and her friend did the 2 day level 1 sailing course and loved it. To have these water sports opportunities in the middle of a City is fantastic.

We attended the introduction to stand up paddling on Thursday evening. Ryan the instructor was brilliant. Getting us onto the boards on our knees and once confident up to standing. There was a small group of us and it was great fun. We learnt how to use the paddle and the session was both informative and great fun. I loved the tricks session at the end but maybe at 50 year old I’m too old for headstands on the board!!
All in all a great activity and good to try something new. Would recommend to all. At £15 each much cheaper than other sessions I’ve seen advertised and Ryan was encouraging and helpful.
The warm shower after was much needed and the changing rooms clean too. Will def be back. Thank you very much.
