Sailing & Boating

UCLA Recreation/Marina Aquatic Center is extending enrollments to Westside Extension for water recreation classes in Marina del Rey.  The majority of time is spent on the water, and the instructors are first-rate.  Participants must be in good health, able to swim 300 feet and tread water for five minutes, and not be afraid of the water. Enrollment is limited for all of these classes, so register early. Click here for Directions to the Center and General Info. Click here for specific Directions for the Surfing class.

Note: You, as a student, are purchasing boat use and instruction on certain days and times. You will not be able to change or cancel because of weather conditions.  Classes will not necessarily be canceled due to rain; cancellation decisions will be based on safety issues, such as wind and lightning. Westside Extension and UCLA Recreation/Marina Aquatic Center will make every effort to reschedule classes canceled due to safety reasons, but there will be no make-ups for any other reason.

Open Water Sea Kayaking & other classes are also available. Call (310) 287-4475 for info, dates & times.
