Is there a basic fitness level required at entry level?

Although you will need to be able to swim a bit, you should always wear a buoyancy aid, so you don’t have to be a great swimmer. Most importantly you won’t get far if you’re scared of the water or worried getting knocked around a bit. The fitter you are generally, the less you are going to ache afterwards!
