About the Program
The BoatUS Foundation is dedicated to putting more kids in properly fitting life jackets. The Life Jacket Loaner Program for Kids is just one of the many ways BoatUS keeps kids safe on the water. How it works:
Find a location near you, and your family can borrow a life jacket for the day or weekend
You will provide staff with basic information to borrow life jacket: name, address, phone number, driver’s license number, and anticipated return date.
When finished, return the jacket. In the event you forget where to return it, the jacket has an attached return tag
A staff member will log your information and distribute the appropriate- sized life jacket
