The Weather Your are here: Home For students: For teachers and parents: Fresh and salt waterways offer us the thrill of water sports in a variety of craft. It might be the power of the wind in the sails or the strength at the oars that creates the excitement. The challenge may be for a team or a lone competitor to test their skills. Whichever water sport you choose your success depends on staying safe and on the way in which you handle your craft. As a beginner it is wise to join a club or seek proper training to help you learn how to handle your craft properly so you can enjoy your new interest in water sport and improve your safety when afloat. As a user of the waterways you have a safety responsibility, so before you first set out you should also have knowledge of the important Rules of the Road at Sea When setting out it is important to know what to expect for weather, the condition and capabilities of your craft and recognise the limits of your own strength. Sailing or rowing can require a great deal of physical effort. It is important to remember that, as a beginner competitor, you may have limited control over your vessel. When rowing the rowing team need to recognise the strength of each member and travel as fast as the slowest rower, keeping a steady pace. To avoid dangerous waters and the chance of accidents rowing or paddling sports should never be organised in, during or after heavy rains or flooding.

Site Map MetLife Boat Safety Tips Safety Tips for Water-skiing Water-skiing is an exciting and challenging sport. However, like all "fast-action" sports that are fun, it does possess an element of risk. Many skiers and boaters are not aware of the potential hazards of water-skiing and as a result, are hurt or even killed pursuing this recreational sport. Attention to hazards in the area where you are skiing is especially critical due to the ever growing number of boats out on the water. The Ski Area The size of the water area in which you intend to ski determines the number of boats and skiers that can operate within it at the same time. Each boat should be able to maintain a 200 foot wide "ski corridor" (100 feet on either side of the boat). The entire "skiing course" should be at least 2,000 - 3,000 feet long to avoid constant turning and risky maneuvering. A minimum depth of five to six feet of obstacle-free water is suggested for safe skiing to: Keep the skis from dragging bottom during starts.

    safety guidelines for water tubing equipment might make the sport safer,Letts says, but there are currently no equipment standards.  
    http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1997/07jul/news.htm
    
    Extractions: THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 25 - NO. 7 - JULY 97 W ater tubing may seem like an easy, fun way to keep kids active on the waterfront, especially when they don't know how to water-ski. But a look at the injury statistics reveals that the sport poses some risks. Water tubing is similar to waterskiing, except that the participant rides a rubber inner tube instead of a pair of skis. After seeing a number of water tubing injuries, orthopedic surgeons from Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa analyzed 6 years' worth of medical records from the hospital's pediatric trauma center. Eight children (ranging from 10 to 17 years) had been admitted to the hospital for water tubing injuries. The patients' cases (1) were reported in a poster presentation in February at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery in San Francisco. Merv Letts, MD, the lead author of the study and chair of the Department of Surgery at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, says that most water tubing injuries occur when water tube riders come too close to shore. When turning, a boat driver may misjudge the path of the tube, allowing it to strike a dock, or tubes may hit submerged objects, such as rocks. Inexperienced boat drivers also contribute to many injuries, according to Letts. Water tubing mishaps also can happen when an inner tube comes loose from the tow rope or explodes.
