About this Event

Water Safety for Kids (Ages 8–10) - younger welcome

Help your child build confidence and awareness around the water with this engaging, hands-on safety class.

Participants will learn practical safety habits for boating, swimming, and general water activities through interactive demonstrations and guided discussion.

What they’ll learn:

  • Proper life jacket use and why it matters
  • Safe behavior on and around boats
  • How to respond in an emergency
  • Recognizing common water hazards
  • The importance of staying with a buddy and telling someone your plans

This course is designed to be educational, interactive, and age-appropriate. It focuses on prevention and preparedness—not swimming instruction.

  • Parking: Free parking is available on Promontory Drive.
