AYC Jr. Sailing Program Information
We will have an orientation meeting the first day of class. We will let the parents know that our classes are NOT drop off classes. Parents are required to stay close to the sailing area to help out where needed or just to be there for their child. We will have information about snack parents and volunteer opportunities at the orientation meeting. Throughout the summer we will have some sailing opportunities for parents during classes too.
The first class will begin with a swim test. All kids will be required to swim the length of the dock and back with their life jackets, tread water for 5 minutes without life jackets and then put their life jacket on while in the water. Kids must have a properly fitting Coast Guard Approved life jacket.
