Scuba Diving
 

Scuba diving is a chance for people to go underwater and experience a completely different environment to being on dry land.  Unlike using a snorkel you can swim down quite deep, and you don't need to keep going back to the surface for air. 

 

You can simply forget about the stresses and strains of day to day life, experience the freedom and wonders of the underwater world, relax and enjoy a whole new way of living.

 

Fans of the activity say it's an amazing feeling and is as close as a person can get to being weightless without going into space.

 

Normally you learn to scuba dive in a pool before going out to open water (seas and rivers).

Environmental Conservation Projects
 
Conservation doesn't need to be uninteresting, costly or boring.  Not everyone simply wants your money.  Get active and involved.  The world has much to offer us if we help take care of it - satisfaction at a job well done and confidence that what we do can really make a difference.
 
Organised Environmental Conservation Projects can range from simple Beach Clean-ups to full blown studies of creatures and their habitats.
 
Talks and Workshops help not only educate us but also create great new opportunities for socialising and making friends.

Have you ever fancied dinghy sailing ?.
 
Budworth Sailing Club is opening its doors this coming Saturday 24th April at 1pm to give people an experience in a dinghy sailing boat.
 
Organised by Bill & Gill Kenyon who are both fanatical sailors as well as diveing instructors, the event at Budworth is open to any potential sailing crew. 
 
The aim is to introduce novices to the art of sailing.  Post getting everyone together and suitably attired, the afternoon includes basic instruction in crewing a GP14 sailing dinghy.  We hope to get people on the water as quickly as possible to maximise enjoyment of this sport.
 
Several highly experienced GP14 boat owners have kindly agreed to take aspiring people out on the lovely inland waters of Budworth Mere, Warrington Road, Great Budworth, Cheshire (just south of junction 10 of M56), CW9 6HA.  Full rescue boat cover is provided.
 
All equipment and instruction will be suppplied including bouyancy aids.  However you will need to bring:
Towels, shower gear, swimming costume, spare clothing and spare footwear.  Hot showers and changing facilities are fully avilable in the facilities of the clubhouse.  It is possible you may get splashed or wet, in which case a change of clothing and footwear is highly adviseable.
 
Assuming fabulous weather we plan to have a BBQ and open the clubhouse bar after sailing around about 6pm to which everyone is invited. To cater for everyone's taste, whilst we will supply salads, we ask that you bring your own meat/BBQ food.
 
Any interested parties should contact Bill Kenyon using the link below. 
 
Numbers will be limited for safety reasons, so please ensure you let us know in advance that you wish to attend.

Swimming for Fitness
 
Swimming isn't just a seaside pursuit, it is a way of keeping fit no matter what your age or health.  Indeed, swimming can be both relaxing and competitive, aid fitness and be a gentle way to get back to health after injury or illness.
 
Swimming is a life saving skill for all who,love water borne pursuits and it is also an element of Iron Man competitions, Triathlons and even the Olympics themself.

Everyone can benefit from swimming instruction - babies and infants taking their first splash, athletes developing their technique or just mum's and dad's for pleasure.

If you are a learner classes can be a fun way to learn and have fun.

If you are an experienced swimmer they can both develop effective technique and introduce you to a whole new group of freinds.

For those with firm goals in mind, such as Traithletes, Iron men, Masters Championships in their sights, classes can take you from effective strokes into how to adopt techniques for efficient swimming.
