Boating Safety Classes
For seventy years, the mission of the volunteer civilian members
of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary has been to assist the Coast
Guard in the performance of its civil functions - particularly
the promotion of recreational boating safety. One of the four
cornerstones of our organization is Public Education. We are
pleased to offer the following courses. Click on any of the
course titles in the table below for a description of the course. If none of these
offerings are convenient, try our
Division Public Education page for additional courses in our
area. Course offerings for the entire country may be found at
the
Auxiliary's Course Finder page. If you still can't find
a course you're interested in at a convenient location, send an
e-mail to our Flotilla Staff Officer for Public Education to:
flotilla72aux@gmail.com.
Let us know which Auxiliary course you're interested in, and
leave us your contact information.
For more information, or to sign up for a class, contact our
Course Registrar at 203-846-8471, or e-mail
peggybonhage@aol.com.
All of our courses are offered at the
Dominic Lametta Training
Center in Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk.
