What you need to know
Kids sail their own Optimist on Lake Zurich every week.
- Club boats to rent for the season, so beginners need not buy one
- Swim test at the start: kids must swim 25 m safely
- Parents help rig and launch the boats before each session
- Kids with sailing experience get priority if the group fills up
About
Weekly Optimist dinghy training on Lake Zurich at Segel-Club Enge, part of the joint junior program run by the city's three sailing clubs. Kids sail in groups by level, from first-season beginners to regatta sailors, and rig and stow their own boats, so parents lend a hand at the start. A confident swimmer with a summer sailing course behind them fits best.
