Ocean Safety for Kids is offering a free class on the beach each Sunday, throughout the summer. Starting May 30th at noon, participants will learn about basic beach safety topics such as sun protection, swimming near a lifeguard, and rip current awareness. Children then have the opportunity to join in an ocean rescue demonstration with current and former ocean lifeguards. The program is open to children of all ages, although some activities may be limited to eight years old and up at the instructors’ discretion. The class runs approximately forty-five minutes, and includes a gift bag with safety tips and items from local sponsors.
The program is limited to thirty children total per session and parents are encouraged to register online at www.oceansafetyforkids.com prior to the class. If necessary, an extra session will be added at 1:00 to accommodate more participants.
Ocean Safety for Kids was founded in 2003 in Dare County, NC and has recently partnered with IndoJax Surf School to bring their safety message to the Wilmington area.
