Boating Safety Classes for Children
The US Coast Guard Auxiliary carries its boating education to
youth groups (minimum 20 persons) aged kindergarten through junior
high. The classes are by appointment only and last 35 to 55 minutes
based on the age of the children.
We stress:
- The importance of learning to swim
- How to help someone in the water
- Why you should leave a float plan
- The importance of wearing a life jacket at all times
- Don't pollute
- Drink lots of water
- Why you should keep your boat balanced
- Have an observer on the boat
- Stay with your boat, stay together
We also offer a lesson for children and youth held on board
the USCG Cutter Morgenthau.
Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Lesson
includes a tour of the cutter.
Call (925) 254-5708 to arrange a lesson
for your group!
