THE LIST GIVEN BELOW IS ONLY A ROUGH GUIDE AND NONE ARE DEFINITES. PLEASE CONTACT DIRECT FOR DETAILS:

PRICES VARY BUT ARE SELECTED AS BEING THOUGHT TO BE REASONABLY DECENT.

Please be aware that these establishments are NOT similar to Dover and none specifically cater for swimmers and their/your strange aquatic habits!

Public transport in Jersey is patchy unless you are staying on a bus route or within walking distance of training areas / shops / pubs / restaurants etc.

Taxi prices compare to London prices and probably less cheerful! There are several car hire companies listed below, UK and International driving licenses accepted from MOST countries.
