I think you should bring your own towels. The swim school provides some, but they weren't the best quality. I was glad I had my own.

If you’re planning on visiting during summer, try to book a class well in advance. They fill up quickly and I missed out on a few I really wanted!

My advice is to arrive at least 15 minutes early, especially on weekends. It can get crowded. That way, you have time to check in and get settled before the fun starts.

My advice is to try out the water bikes. They are way more fun than I anticipated. Try to go around 3 PM when it's less crowded; we had the lake almost to ourselves then.
