Coast Guard Safe Boating Programme
Wai O Rua - Stratford Aquatic Centre is proud to offer the Coastguard Boating Education Programme. This programme is an introductory programme suited for 8–14-year-old. The Coastguard Boating Education programme provides a practical in-water experience for participants to gain the skills and confidence to fit their own lifejacket, to carry out rescue techniques to aid those in need and the damaging effects hypothermia can have on someone. Our team are qualified to teach this course. Course length is approx 4 hours.
This program is aligned with Coastguard New Zealand, which means once pupils complete the course, they are presented with a certificate.
