You will need:

• You will need sun block and extra drinks for on river.
• Your regular swim wear, the same as what you would wear to the swimming pool.

• On a rainy or overcast day it can get cold on the river, even in high summer! A light wind breaker or something similar is recommended. Don’t bring heavy and bulky clothing.
