| Bridgewater High School Sailing Club |
Bridgewater
is a member of the Cheshire Schools' Sailing and Canoeing Association.
Through the CSSCA we are able to sail at Budworth Sailing Club
and have the use of club changing facilities and space to store
our boats. Thanks to the PTA, the support of other parents and
internal fund-raising we currently have a Topper and a GP 14.
They aren't very new but they are serviceable and do provide us
with a range of different boats for our sailors. We also have
buoyancy aids which are always worn whenever sailors are on the
water. As members of the CSSCA we have the use of some storage
facilities in the boat park and shared access to a powered rescue
dory.
The staff leader is Mr N Groves who is a very experienced sailor and he is supported by parents when they are available.

Note 1: Sailing is governed by weather conditions and therefore subject to cancellation at short notice.
Note 2: Following any activity in water which is relatively still it is considered sensible to bathe or shower at home after a sailing session and to keep open cuts covered. Showers are not available to us at BSC.
