What should I bring to my session?

Wear your normal beach attire that can get wet. Bring a towel, something to drink, and lots of sunscreen.

For ladies we recommend snug fitting tops or a rash guard in case of wardrobe malfunction. To speed up the check in process please print/review/sign our liability waiver and bring to your lesson or class.
