The GLSRP in partnership with the Port Washington Waterfront Safety Advisory Committee presents the “Great Lakes Water Safety” class. The class is open to the public, surfers, police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, water rescue team members, dive team members, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The class will teach participants how to: 

• Recognize the danger of the surf environment keeping personal safety as THE primary responsibility.

• Recognize the “Signs of Drowning” – How to identify a person in trouble from within a crowd. 

• Understand rip currents; i.e. how, where, and why rip currents occur.

• Use the MI Sea Grants “Flip, Float, and Follow” rip current survival strategy.

• Use a flotation device such as a throw ring, throw rope, rescue tube, surfboard or other objects that float to rescue a person in distress or in a rip current.

• React when encountering swimmers who have suffered an injury or unconscious.

• Enroll in lifesaving, first aid, and CPR training from accredited agencies.
