Safety Tips for Boaters with Children
Boating is one of the best ways to build unforgettable memories with your children. The Lake of the Ozarks holds so many incredible views to be seen from the water. The water activities are endless, between wakeboarding, tubing, water skiing, swimming, fishing, and so much more - boating at the Lake can truly be one of the best times you have with your children. While boating with children can be really fun, it's also important to boat safely. Our boat club at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few safety tips for when you are boating with children. If you have questions on how to boat safely, call Freedom Boat Club at the Lake of the Ozarks at (573) 302-0392.
Fit your kids with the appropriately sized lifejackets.
No matter what age your child is, whether they are an infant or a 5-year-old, make sure their lifejacket fits correctly. To determine if it fits right, have your kid raise both arms straight up - if the life jacket touches their chin or ears, then it's probably too big.
Teach your kids to swim.
If you are boating at the Lake of the Ozarks, it's a good idea to teach your children to swim yourself or have a swimming instructor do so. Here are two resources at the Lake for you to check into if you are interested in swim lessons for your child:
Camdenton Aquatic Center
Westlake Aquatic Center
Bring an adequate amount of food.
There's nothing worse than being out in the middle of the lake with a hungry child. It's important that you bring enough healthy treats for your kids while out on the Lake so they can stay energized and happy.
Keep your kids hydrated.
Don't forget to bring plenty of water for your children to drink while out on the Lake. Freedom Boat Club at the Lake of the Ozarks provides FREE ice for your cooler - so be sure to stock up before you leave the dock.
Freedom Boat Club is half the cost of boat ownership. Add up the costs; insurance, winterization, oil changes, licensing fees, slip rental/ownership, engine or propeller repairs, fiberglass or upholstery repairs, batteries, anchors, life jackets, fenders, ropes. Don't forget to include the amount a boat devalues each year! (20% for new boats, 10% for used) You'll find that Freedom Boat Club Membership is 30 - 70% less than owning a similar boat in our fleet which ranges in value between $45,000 - $120,000. Plus you get to use ALL the boats in our fleet, PLUS all the boats at 160+ locations across the country. We do all the work, you have all the fun! The boat is waiting. Why are you?
