Because boating safety is a top priority for the Coast Guard Auxiliary, there are several programs that are specifically designed for children.
BOATING FUN - ADVENTURE ON THE WATER: (Recommended for ages 4-9) This one hour course is designed for kids in grades K-3. It uses an activity/coloring book to provide safe boating messages. You can download a free copy here (PDF: 730kb/18 pages).
WAYPOINTS - A GUIDE TO BOATING SAFETY: (Recommended for ages 10-12) This course includes many of the same main points as the adult course in Boating Safety. You can download a free copy here (PDF: 881kb/14 pages).
Here are a few links to outside
sources covering boating safety specifically with kids in mind.
