Description:
Montgomery County Parks & Recreation presents Virginia Boating Safety Education Course on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at the Montgomery County Government Center Multipurpose Room #2.

Topics covered include:
• Boating Operations
• Safe Boating Practices
• Navigation Signs
• Boating Responsibilities

This course is recommended for motivated students 12 years of age and older with good reading and comprehension skills who want to learn more about the fundamentals of safe and responsible boating. Course materials are on a 6th grade reading level.

In 2007, the Virginia General Assembly enacted a law to establish a boating safety education compliance requirement. This requirement has been phased in over the past several years; and by July 1, 2016, all operators (regardless of age) of PWCs (personal watercraft such as jet skis, Sea Doos, and Wave Runners) and operators (regardless of age) of motorboats with a motor of 10 horsepower or greater will be required to have a boating safety education course completion card on board when operating a PWC or motorboat.

The course is free and all supplies and materials are provided.
