All participants should be comfortable around water and follow staff safety instructions.

Dogs should be reasonably comfortable around people, other dogs, and water activities. Owners are responsible for supervising and controlling their dogs throughout the experience.

Weather, tides, water conditions, and other safety factors may affect the route or event. For everyone's safety, routes or launch times may be adjusted when necessary.
