We welcome everyone, no matter your skill level. Before you set off, we’ll give you clear instructions on how to use the equipment safely and effectively. Located on Lower Lliedi Reservoir, a calm and ideal area for paddling, it's a great place for beginners to get started. While we provide equipment hire for those aged 16 and over, we recommend beginners take an introductory lesson with us to build confidence and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. ### Are the activities suitable for children? Yes, absolutely! Our hires are suitable for children aged 4 and above. For children aged 4-8, they will need to share a craft with an adult, and we provide specially designed lifejackets to ensure their safety. ### Is the Swiss Valley wheelchair accessible? Yes, we have made our Swiss Valley base wheelchair accessible. We provide disabled changing facilities and have installed the latest accessibility ramp and pontoon, known as The EZ launch, to make it easy to access the water. Please note that the hill leading to our boathouse is quite steep, and some may find it challenging. If you think this may be an issue, please contact us via the adventuro chat below in advance, and we will assist you as best we can. We’re committed to making your experience as comfortable and accessible as possible. ### Do you have changing and toilet facilities? Yes, we provide toilet and simple changing room facilities for your convenience. We are also working on adding a shower facility in the near future. We offer a separate changing room and toilet for disabled access to ensure all guests feel comfortable and accommodated. ### Do you have secure storage for my valuables? We offer 24 wire mesh lockers, available on a first-come, first-served basis. You can rent a locker for £1 with a refundable £5 deposit. Please note, we are not responsible for any items left in the lockers or elsewhere on the premises. We recommend that you take steps to ensure the safety of your belongings. ### What should I wear? While we hope you stay dry, it's always a good idea to wear something you don't mind getting wet. ### Do I have to wear a buoyancy aid? Yes, wearing a buoyancy aid is mandatory at all times during any of our activities, whether you're using our equipment or launching your own craft. We provide buoyancy aids for all our guests and require that they are worn throughout your time on the water. Safety is our top priority, so no one will be allowed in the water without a properly fitted buoyancy aid. ### Is swimming allowed at the Lower Lliedi Reservoir? Currently, swimming is not allowed at the Lower Lliedi Reservoir, as it is an operational reservoir managed by Welsh Water, which prohibits swimming. However, as water sports enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the appeal of open water swimming. We are actively working with Llanelli Rural Council and Welsh Water to establish the reservoir as an open water swimming venue, and this is a priority for us. In the meantime, we ask that you respect the swimming restrictions and refrain from entering the water. This cooperation helps us maintain a positive relationship with local authorities as we work towards making open water swimming a reality at the reservoir. Thank you for your understanding. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-03-10-133604.png - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
