FAQs
Is the aquatic challenge safe for children who are not confident swimmers?
Children need to be able to float and feel comfortable in the water, but they do not need to be expert swimmers. All participants wear a CE-approved high-buoyancy life jacket adapted to their weight, and the guide who specialises in working with minors is present at all times. The activity takes place in controlled sections under continuous supervision from the team.
From what age can children take part?
The minimum age is 8 years (with a responsible adult). This age ensures that children have the maturity and physical condition needed to enjoy the activity safely. For children under 8, please enquire about adapted activity options.
Do adults take part in the challenges or just accompany the children?
Adults take part actively in every challenge alongside the children. The activity is designed so that the whole family competes and has fun together as a team. The guide’s supervision ensures safety while the family experiences the activity together.
What is the difference between the family aquatic challenge and the adult aquatic gymkhana?
The family challenge is designed for children from 8 years old, with beginner-level tests (level 2) on gentle water and calm pools. The Adult Aquatic Gymkhana is aimed at groups from 15 years old, with adventure-level challenges (level 3) that include more intense whitewater sections.
What is the best time of year to do the family challenge on the Gállego river?
June to September is the ideal season: the water temperature is more comfortable for children and the weather is more stable. The Murillo de Gállego stretch is regulated by the La Peña reservoir, which guarantees a safe flow throughout the season regardless of summer drought.
