LYSS OFFERS ONE CLASS FOR ADULTS IN 2023
(18 years and older)
After ten years of requests, we're going to try an adult sailing class. These are small crafts in open water and one should expect to get wet.
Here's the deal, you must be able to swim, we will give you the same swimming test we give the kids. You have to jump off the dock with a life jacket on, swim to the dinghy, take the life jacket off, tread water and then put the life jacket back on and swim back. We're holding this class a little later in the summer, so the water will be warmer.
Life jackets are required while sailing and you must be physically fit enough to get back in a Sunfish when you tip.
