We place great importance on safety. Many of our activities are related to the sea, so the specific monitors in these areas are certified as swim and / or lifeguard and first aid instructors, licensed by the I.N.E.F. or T.A.F.A.D, and are always present during water activities and sports. Another important factor in safety is our very low average ratio of children per instructor. This in turn allows us to maintain high quality and a good environment for learning and fun. During the water sports the children always wear life jackets. Another factor, no less important, is that parents, who are also on holiday, can take advantage of this time to do other activities with Activ8You, or simply have some time for themselves.
