The PTP Story So Far
PTP Coaching is a family-run organisation, established in 2017 by Pia and Thomas, with a deep-rooted commitment to a social enterprise ethos. At the core of our operations is a genuine passion for watersports and outdoor activities, and we aim to make these experiences accessible and enjoyable for all. With over 50 years of combined experience in the outdoor and watersports industry – and that’s not even counting the wealth of expertise contributed by the rest of our dedicated team – we have built a strong foundation for delivering high-quality coaching, training, and recreational activities. We proudly operate from multiple prime locations, including Beckenham Place Park in South East London, Bewl Water in Kent, and Weirwood Reservoir in Sussex.
These locations provide the ideal settings for a wide range of activities on and around the water, offering picturesque natural environments that enhance the outdoor experience. From serene lake settings to vibrant riverside parks, we ensure that our clients experience the best that nature has to offer. Our coaching services are designed to cater to a wide spectrum of needs, whether you are a complete beginner eager to take your first steps into the world of watersports or an experienced enthusiast looking to refine your skills. We offer tailored training sessions in various disciplines, including kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing, with expert instructors who are not only highly qualified but also passionate about what they do.
Our team is committed to creating an encouraging and supportive environment where clients feel confident to push their boundaries and achieve personal growth. In keeping with our social enterprise values, PTP Coaching is dedicated to making outdoor activities more accessible to diverse communities. We firmly believe that everyone, regardless of background or ability, should have the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits that come from engaging with the natural environment.
Our programmes are inclusive and designed to promote physical and mental well-being, social interaction, and environmental awareness. By partnering with local councils, schools, and community organisations, we aim to reach a broad audience and foster a love of the outdoors in people of all ages.
Watersports are truly in our DNA. For us, being on or around the water is not just a pastime, but a way of life that we are passionate about sharing with others. Whether you are looking to enjoy a peaceful paddle across the lake, take on more adventurous challenges, or simply unwind in a beautiful outdoor setting, PTP Coaching offers an experience that is both fun and rewarding.
We are continuously evolving our services to meet the needs of our clients and the communities we serve. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the way we operate, ensuring that we minimise our environmental footprint while maximising the positive impact we have on both individuals and the local ecosystems we work in. We also provide a range of seasonal and year-round activities, meaning that there’s always something to enjoy at any time of the year.
