Sailing FAQ

Can I still register for a Sailing session if I have no prior experience sailing?

Absolutely! Our summer sessions cater to newcomers and experienced sailors alike.

What time should i drop off and pick up my child?

Classes start and end promptly. Please be here ten minutes before the class starts and before the class ends. We meet at the Sailing Shack between the tennis courts and the pool.

What should my child bring to class?

Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a whistle, a water bottle, and a towel. All of these things will fit easily into a backpack or small duffel bag.

Your child’s name should be written on each item in permanent black marker.

What should my child wear to class?

Children should wear a bathing suit. If the weather is cool or rainy, they should also wear or bring appropriate gear. Shoes should be closed-toe; typically old tennis shoes or aqua socks work the best. No sandals or flip-flops. They will get wet, so children should not wear clothing or shoes that can be damaged or will get very heavy when wet. Pack a change of clothes if you do not want to take your child home wet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own life jacket? What kind should I buy?

All students, as well as their instructor, will wear a life jacket any time they are on the water or the docks. Each child is responsible for bringing their own life jacket. It needs to be comfortable, and have a snug fit. Please spend the time to select one that your child will be happy to wear. The club has a few extras, but not enough for the entire class.

What should I do if my child has a problem in class? Who should I talk to and when?

If you have a problem or concern with your child, please speak to their instructor first. At the start of class it is not always possible for the instructor to talk to you, however, you should be able to schedule a later appointment when there are no other students to supervise. If the instructor is unable to resolve the issue, the next level of intervention is to go to the General Manager of the Club.

Pool Use?

The club understands that you will have to wait for your child somewhere and you are free to use seating by the pool as well as other areas of the club. However, Non-Members must pay a $5 per day fee (or $20 for 5 days) to use the swimming pool. Please sign in if you intend to swim and pay the fee at the Snack Shack. (Sailing Class enrollees can use the pool at no charge after the class.)

Food & Beverages?

The Club does not provide meals as a part of class. You are welcome to take advantage of our Snack Shack where sailing students receive a 10% discount off one food item per day. The dining room is also open Wednesday through Sunday, but please note that no jogging shorts, swim suits (even with coverall), tank tops or bare feet are allowed in the indoor dining area.
