•  Navigating the waterways

•  Legal boating requirements and

•  What to do in an emergency.

 

This course, without exaggeration, could save your life on Lake Lanier — where 7.5 million people visit annually.

Successfully completing this boating safety course might lower your insurance premium.  The course also serves as a personal watercraft certified course for children between the ages of 12 and 16.
