Recognizing the critical need for ocean safety for the youth of Avalon, NAC Avalon Ocean Club has created programs that provide access to safe and fun ocean experiences. We believe the big blue sea should be an inclusive space where all children can grow confident, capable, and connected to their environment.
Our Mission:
NAC Avalon Ocean Club empowers youth through ocean exploration and education, nurturing a deep love and respect for the ocean while expanding their horizons. We foster personal growth, resilience, and confidence, guiding each participant to become their best self. Through safe, engaging, and educational ocean-based adventures, we cultivate a lifelong connection to the ocean and the natural world.
Focused on water safety, our fall and spring programs teach open-water swimming, essential ocean skills, and build confidence in the water. Participants learn to read waves and ocean conditions through paddling, body surfing, boogie boarding, and surfing. We also cover key topics like tides, currents, and rip currents to help kids make safe, informed decisions in the ocean. CPR and first aid training are included, along with basic nutrition guidance to support overall health and readiness. This hands-on program fosters leadership, resilience, and a lifelong respect for the ocean.
Join us, spread the word, donate what you can or sponsor an Avalon athlete.
Every donation helps break down financial barriers for families, making ocean safety education more accessible to all island kids. Your support creates more opportunities for fun, learning, and lifelong confidence in and around the water—for this generation and the next.
