Come join us on select Saturdays at 11am, for a special visit from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and their friend, Coastie, the animated robotic boat! Learn all about water safety through an interactive learning experience for the whole family. Scheduled dates (subject to change):April 19thApril 26th 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.July 12th (Shark Week)July 26th This is free for Exploreum members or included in general admission for non-members. Pricing can be found here: https://www.exploreum.com/plan-your-visit/hours-admission/ _______________________ Coastie teaches rules about what to do and not do in a water emergency situation. For instance, Coastie teaches “Reach or Throw But Never Go In.” This message along with interaction and instruction with Coastie teaches children how to throw or reach something to a person who is in trouble in the water rather than going in to try to save him. He also teaches slogans that kids remember like “Don’t Just Pack It! Wear Your Life Jacket!” and “Always Swim With A Buddy In A Supervised Area.” This program has already educated thousands of children since it was started in 1996 and interacted with children and their parents at Boat Shows, Schools, Parades and Hospitals all over the Columbus, Ohio area. Coastie has visited other cities such as Marietta, and Dayton, Ohio, Washington DC, Chicago, and St. Louis. He has even gone to Pittsburgh 1997-1998 for the Tri City Regatta and Parade. One of Coastie’s most recent educational programs that has also become an annual event is the Defense Logistic Agency, Summer Family Fun Festival Day, in Columbus, Ohio. The interaction is always very worthwhile at this event. The bottom line for Coastie is “Education and Saving Lives” while sharing the boating and water safety message with everyone he contacts. Coastie’s Team motto is “Saving Lives Through Education”.
