The programme has been running for two years and is held on Sundays at Bitterne Leisure Centre for women and children and at the Quays on Mondays for men. The lessons cater to over 40 women, 60 children and 20 men of different abilities in each term. Feedback from the participants is overwhelming positive with many returnees each term.<br \/>\nSome of the participants have gone on to attend taster sessions in watersports such as sailing, canoeing, Kayaking and paddleboarding after gaining the confidence to be in the water. Active Nation has extended support to providing free lessons throughout the summer for TUVAA members and supporters.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221; alter_height=&#8221;none&#8221;
