Bateau Chatelaillon Tourisme
Cours Piscine Chatelaillon
Before going sailing, learn to swim! Children’s sailing courses are not for everyone just yet. In July and August, the town installs a swimming pool on its beach dedicated to toddlers, giving them a gentle introduction to the water.
While mum has fun with her friends at the zumba class, Cathy, a qualified lifeguard, takes over! She teaches beginners the basics of swimming, and older children the crawl technique. Sign up at the Aquatic Centre!
Ever heard of the Optimist? This small boat designed to introduce young sailors to sailing is a must when summer comes around. And if its name puts a smile on your face, so does the way it’s sailed!
From the age of 5, head to the Etang de la Rosière behind the Centre de Thalasso for your first children’s sailing course. Supervised and equipped, participants discover their first nautical sensations, while learning the rudiments of navigation.
They’ll be looking for balance, understanding the direction of the wind and having fun with their friends.
After the initiation, the course! From the age of 6, you can take to the sea like a grown-up. Thanks to its hull, the Optimist can’t capsize, and that’s pretty cool. The first starts are made in groups from the calm zone of the Marina… so that by the end of the course you’re sailing towards the horizon! All under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor.
Allow 3 to 5 days for the course, 2 hours per day.
Private lessons are also available.
Two fresh and stylish activities for teenagers
Have you followed everything? After the children’s sailing course, we’re moving on to the next level with the catamaran course.
This famous boat with two hulls, including the famous Hobie Cat 16 and its banana-shaped structure, requires a little more bottle… On the programme for this demanding initiation: dexterity, new reflexes, a sense of the wind and marine knots. Hoist it high!
Fancy taking to the open sea without getting wet?
Meet up on the banks of the Etang de la Rosière for a radio-controlled sailing course. You’ll learn your first sailing techniques, work out strategies and quickly get into the swing of things!
