Adult Classes at a glance:
Our primary focus is youth instruction, but now and then we hold special adult classes as well, usually towards the end of the summer. Currently, none are scheduled, but if you are interested send us an e-mail. If there's enough interest we can work with you to schedule one -or if you can find on your own at least four adults who want to take a class then we can very likely make one happen. We prefer to have at least 4 people in an adult class, and we can go as high as 16, but 10 is a better max.
- Adult classes are for adults 18 and older.
- Adult classes are one day long, either a Saturday or a Sunday, 9:00AM to 4:00PM with an hour break for lunch.
- Adult class tuition is $100 per person (they are, in effect, fundraisers to subsidize the youth classes).
- Adult classes usually meet on Norway Point, either in or near the Juneau Yacht Club. Map.
- Adult students wear drysuits provided by JYS while on the water. A swim test and a capsize drill will take place at the start of class.
- If you have a group of interested people, we can work to schedule you a ''private'' adult class. In the past, we've done all-ladies classes, groups of co-workers, etc.
- 2012 adult classes are currently scheduled for June 2nd, July 28th and August 11th.
