Don’t be caught on the water this summer without your Boater Education Kirkland Jr High PTSA has arranged the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to teach “About boating safely” class. Open to young people 12-20 yrs.
The State of Washington has a new mandatory boater safety education law. This law means that, eventually, all people operating a recreational boat or personal watercraft (jet ski) will have to take a boating safety class. This law will be phased in by age groups. The first group, 12 to 20 years, has to have their boater education card in their possession now, if they want to operate a boat or PWC. (personal water craft)
The US Coast Guard Auxiliary will be presenting an 8 hour boating safety class (About Boating Safely) which meets the requirements of this law. The class will be held on Wednesdays, June 4 and 11, 4 hours each day starting at 1:30pm.
Have your teen prepared for a safe summer of water skiing, wake boarding, fishing, and all of the boating activities.
