Mission Bay Aquatic Center

With a sailing membership, you can sail every day this summer! No need to be thinking about sailing every day when you can BE sailing every day for only $75/month.

Starting June 1, we will be open Monday-Sunday 9am-7pm.

Stay focused — your attention matters every second on the water. 🌊👀

Other boats, swimmers, changing weather, and unexpected hazards can appear quickly. Distraction reduces reaction time when it matters most.

Smart habits:
⚓ Keep scanning your surroundings
🚤 Maintain safe speeds
📵 Limit distractions at the helm

Awareness keeps everyone safer.

Boating safety isn’t just experience — it’s education. 🚤📚

A boating safety course helps you build the skills and confidence to handle real situations on the water, from navigation rules to emergency response.

No matter your experience level, there’s always more to learn.

Safer boaters make safer waterways.

Conditions on the water can shift in an instant — calm one minute, challenging the next. 🌊🚤
That’s why every boater should be ready for the unexpected.

Before you head out:
🦺 Wear your life jacket
📱 Bring required safety gear
🌤️ Check weather and water conditions

A prepared boater is a safer boater.

Boating and alcohol don’t mix. 🚤🌊

On the water, conditions demand quick reactions, clear judgment, and constant awareness — and impairment can put everyone at risk much faster than many people realize.

Keep it simple:
✔️ Designate a sober operator
✔️ Save alcohol for after you’re off the water
✔️ Stay alert from dock to dock

Safe boating means everyone gets home safely.

Before you leave the dock, make a quick plan — and share it. 🌊⚓️

A float plan helps someone know where you’re going and when you expect to return, so you’re not alone out there if something goes wrong.

Include:
📍 Destination
⏰ Return time
🚤 Vessel info
👥 Who’s onboard

Simple step. Big safety impact.

A simple clip can make a big difference. 🚤🦺

Your engine cut-off switch (ECOS) helps stop the boat if you’re unexpectedly separated from the helm — preventing uncontrolled operation and protecting everyone nearby.

Before you start the engine:
✔️ Attach your cut-off switch
✔️ Confirm it’s secure
✔️ Stay connected while underway

Small habit. Major safety tool.

Even the strongest swimmers need a life jacket. 🦺🌊

In an emergency, conditions like cold water, fatigue, or unexpected impact can affect anyone — quickly.

Before you go out:
✔️ Make sure everyone has a properly fitted life jacket
✔️ Check straps and buckles
✔️ Wear it every time you’re on the water

It only works if you’re wearing it.
