Boating Safety In The Classroom In Norfolk Schools
Norfolk eighth graders in all nine junior high schools take a one hour daily boating safety course for three weeks. Over 20,000 students have completed the program funded with textbooks from a local merchant and boats lent by Norfolk dealers. The Coast Guard Auxiliary adds guest speakers and films, covering seamanship, equipment, rules, weather and safety topics. Richard Keeling, 13, calls it a valuable program for a city surrounded by water. his mother says she feels safer letting him go boating.
