PARTNERSHIP WITH DETROIT SWIMS
FREE Water Safety Course for CTW Participants
Last season we are continued our partnership with Detroit Swims, a local non-profit focused on water safety education. Water safety is an integral part of sailing, and our goal is to provide an opportunity to make our participants’ experience on the water even better and safer.
Classes are focused on water safety: skills include floating, jumping, face in the water, jump/ turn/ reach, life jacket safety, self-rescue, and advancing into swim stamina if they are ready. Equipment can be provided by Detroit Swims, including a bathing suit, goggles, swim cap, towel, and a bag (if participants have personal gear they are comfortable in, that is welcome).
Even if participants have swim experience, this is still a valuable opportunity as they include water safety around docks and water, which is our environment during the sailing program.
Detroit Swims instructors are patient, understanding, and work with the skill level of the participant. Lifeguard is on duty at all times. Participation in this program is not required, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!
