Action Watersports is the South East’s leading Aqua Park and watersports venues, set on a private freshwater lake in Lydd, Kent, close to the Kent and Sussex border. If you are looking for an exciting family day out, a group activity, a birthday party, a school trip, a corporate experience, a hen or stag do, or something completely different to do in Kent, this is the place to make memories on the water.
With activities for everyone from age 6 to 80+, Action Watersports brings together adrenaline, laughter, confidence building and real outdoor fun in one beautiful lakeside setting. Whether you want to bounce, slide, paddle, swim, fly, ski, wakeboard or simply watch the action from the lakeside, there is something here for every kind of water lover.
The Aqua Park is one of the most popular activities at Action Watersports and is perfect for families, children, teenagers, school groups and friends. This floating inflatable obstacle course is packed with slides, climbing walls, balance challenges, jumping platforms and wipe out moments. Race across the obstacles, challenge your family, cheer on your friends and see who can stay dry the longest. It is high energy, hilarious and a brilliant way to enjoy time together outdoors.
For fast, funny and unforgettable fun, book one of the Inflatable Fun Rides behind the speedboat. Take on the Slippery Banana or jump aboard the Relaxing Sofa and hold on as you bounce across the lake. These towed inflatable rides are a great choice for families, friends, youth groups, birthday parties, hen and stag groups, school leavers and corporate teams. They are full of laughter, teamwork and friendly competition, with the big question being, who will stay on the longest?
If you want an unforgettable wow moment, Flyboarding is an experience you will never forget. With water jets attached to your feet, you can rise above the lake and feel like a real life superhero. It is one of the most exciting activities at the venue and makes a brilliant surprise activity for birthdays, special occasions and adventurous visitors.
Action Watersports is also a British Water Ski & Wakeboard accredited school, welcoming complete beginners through to experienced riders. The sheltered freshwater lake gives excellent water conditions for waterskiing, wakeboarding and coaching. Beginners can learn in a safe, progressive way with dry land training and expert instruction, while more experienced skiers and riders can work on technique, confidence, slalom, deep water starts, wakeboarding skills and personal bests.
Stand Up Paddleboarding is a brilliant option for those who want something more relaxed but still active. All equipment is provided, including board, paddle, buoyancy aid and wetsuit where needed. You can stand, kneel or sit, making paddleboarding accessible and fun for a wide range of ages and abilities. Visitors with their own paddleboard are also welcome during selected sessions, and dog lovers can join the popular Pups on SUPs sessions, where your four legged friend can enjoy the lake with you.
Open Water Swimming is available on the private freshwater lake, with a marked swim course suitable for different distances and abilities. Whether you are new to wild swimming, training for an event, or simply love the freedom of swimming outdoors, Action Watersports offers a friendly and supportive environment. Wetsuit hire is available if you are just getting started or prefer extra warmth in the water.
Action Watersports is ideal for individuals, families and groups. It is especially popular for children’s birthday parties, school trips, youth groups, hen parties, stag dos, corporate days, team building events and family celebrations. The team can help combine activities to create the right experience for your group, whether you want pure adrenaline, confidence building, teamwork, a fun reward day, or a full day out by the lake.
On dry land, visitors can enjoy hot showers, toilets, changing rooms, lakeside viewing areas, refreshments and a well stocked watersports pro shop. The lakeside food shack offers hot and cold food, making it easy to turn your activity into a full day out.
