This is a comprehensive course designed to give all
boaters, new and experienced, the basic skills needed to boat with confidence. The instructors are members of the Lake Murray Power
Squadron who have
completed advanced courses in boating subjects and who volunteer their time as a
community service.
We recommend that you attend all of the lectures to take
full advantage of the course and the experiences our instructors have to
provide. However, if you are
unable to attend all of the classes or are unable to take the test on the date
scheduled, our instructors will work with you to answer any questions you may have
about the course material for the classes you miss or to arrange an alternate
test date.
If you are unable to attend this Boat Smart course, there
will be other opportunities to
enroll. Specific dates, times and locations will be listed on this
website and on the USPS website at www.usps.org
where you can click on "Boating Course Schedule" under General
Information.
If your schedule will not allow
you to attend the Boat Smart course or if you would prefer to take a self-study
course, we recommend "America’s Boating Course." This is a CD ROM course that you take at your own pace. Once you
complete the course work, just contact Lake Murray Power Squadron to schedule
the exam. For more
