At Skydive Lillo you can find the first and biggest Swoop pond in Europe.
The pond was constructed in April 2004 and measures 430 feet long and 60 feet wide at both ends. It is 25 feet wide at its center. The sheer magnitude makes it ideal and safe for swoop competitions and courses, as the options for starting and terminating a swoop are increased making it a safe venue to learn and compete.
Lillo organizes many training seminars and competitions all year round with the best of the best coming to compete and pass on their knowledge to 'wannabe' swoopers. Figurehead and principal instructor of our canopy flight school ,Pablo Hernandez, World Champion in the intermediate class of Canopy Piloting ,is training daily right here on the drop zone himself. He is also giving canopy piloting courses , suitable for all levels of experience from AFF graduation to experienced jumpers with thousands of jumps.
