Ocean Awareness
 

Practicing boogey boarding in the pool.
Ocean Awareness is our way of bringing your children's swimming skills from the pool to the ocean. Our ocean, here in Santa Cruz, is fairly complicated resulting in a mecca for talented water sports athletes. On the other hand, it can be dangerous to the uneducated. Throughout Ocean Awareness, we will introduce many of the ocean environments to children and their families. Each session is a month long, meeting once a week on Sunday mornings. The first 3 Sundays we will be at our pool for a half hour of conditioning, followed by a half hour of pool games, focusing on skills to be used in the ocean. The last Sunday of the session, we will spend the morning in the ocean playing with our new skill, finishing with a beach barbecue. Every month we will emphasize a different ocean sport and a new ocean habitat. Boogie boarding, surfing, kayaking and skin diving are some of the skills to be covered. Parents are welcome for this exciting family experience.

Requirements:
Children who want to participate must be 6 years old and able to swim the length of a 10 meter pool.

Days to Meet:
Sessions are one month long, meeting every Sunday. The first three Sundays are spent in the ASU pool while the fourth Sunday is out on a beach. Pool classes are an hour long, either 10am to 11am (for the kids 9 and up) or 11am to 12pm (for kids 6-8 years old). Plan on the fouth Sunday at the beach to take the entire day.

Sessions:
#1: Boogie Boarding: April 27th through May 18th
#2: Skin Diving: July 27th through August 17th

Cost:
The class cost is $110 plus a $10 material fee for wetsuit rental (if needed).
