Yes. All participants — adults and children alike — must be able to swim a minimum of 50 metres (roughly two lengths of a standard pool, or one length of an Olympic pool) before joining a surf lesson at Poloca Surf. Children must also know how to swim.

This is a non-negotiable safety requirement that ensures your confidence and wellbeing during surf lessons in Lanzarote. Being comfortable in the water allows you to focus on learning and enjoying the experience.
