In fact, kids receive an honorary club membership during their participation in\u00a0the\u00a0program.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Do kids need to be able to swim to participate in Tackers?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some ability to swim would be preferable, however they will be wearing lifejackets at all times. Parents\/guardians are encouraged to talk to the Tackers Club Leader or the Tackers Instructor if they have any concerns.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What type of boats will the kids be sailing?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Tackers program is only delivered in a boat called an OziOpti. This boat was specifically designed for the program and is an ideal introduction to dinghy sailing. The boats allow two kids to sail together and as they gain confidence and move up from Tackers 1 to Tackers 2 they are able to sail the boat alone. The boats have built-in buoyancy which means they provide extra stability.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Are the kids out sailing on their own?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When kids start sailing in Tackers 1 they will be sailing in pairs. There are usually 6 boats in a group and there will be an Instructor and an Assistant Instructor in a safety boat supervising the group. The safety boat stays on the water all the time the kids are sailing.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Do the kids need any special clothing to participate in Tackers?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/83677.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3392\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/83677-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"83677\" width=\"270\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/83677-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/83677-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/83677.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>No, there is no special clothing needed.<br \/>\nWe recommend kids wear clothes and shoes that they don\u2019t mind getting wet and bring a towel and a change of clothes with them. <a title=\"Tackers Checklist\" href=\"http:\/\/www.elwoodsc.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=3361\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to download the Tackers Checklist of What to Bring.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What can kids do when they finish Tackers?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are three levels to the Tackers program which kids can progress through.
