The SHAC - The Surrey Hills Adventure Company at The SHAC Lagoon

Had a great time down at the SHAC with an efoil lesson. Skip and the team there are brilliant, patient and great fun. It's an incredible spot there, amazing water and fantastic surroundings, with a lovely restaurant on site to visit once you've dried off.

Visited The SHAC for the first time, what an experience. Scott was very well organised and professional, I felt totally at ease with safety briefing and instructions throughout. Thank you so much Jon

Had a great first eFoil experience at the SHAC. Skip's instruction is excellent and I was really pleased with how quickly I progressed during the session. The communication worked really well using helmets with an in-built microphone. Would really recommend this experience for those wanting to get out on the water and learn a new sport with a great coach! Such a beautiful location too

The SHAC - The Surrey Hills Adventure Company at The SHAC Lagoon The SHAC is an outdoor adventure organisation that does everything it can to get you outside to take some risks, have some fun and enjoy the beauty of the Surrey Hills and all it has to offer. You can find The Shac at Buckland Park Lake near Reigate, which is just off Reigate Road. The swim course at The Lagoon is a 400m loop and is ideal for experienced open water swimmers and beginners alike. The swimming course is set out so that swimmers are no further than 15m away from the safety of the bank at any point; all swimmers are watched over by their team of lifeguards, making it one of the safest open water swim venues in the country. I've swum at The Shac a few times; I particularly like swimming there during the Christmas break; Boxing Day is always busy, so booking your swim before turning up is worth it. They have plenty of parking with a roped-off area for disabled visitors; it can get hectic trying to park; maybe consider car sharing if swimming with a group or arrive with enough time before your swim. After your swim, there is on-site catering; you can grab a hot drink and some food before heading off. I love swimming at The Shac; it's the perfect place to meet up with other swimmers for a well-deserved dip.
