Operation Paddle Smart: Operation Paddle Smart, though it is an ongoing program, officially runs from May 1 to June 30. The operation is a multi-partnered endeavor developed by the First Coast Guard District and Coast Guard Auxiliary to generate greater safety awareness among paddlers and small boat operators. The primary goals are to promote the life-saving benefit of wearing a life jacket, to highlight the immediate danger of sudden cold water immersion, to encourage boater and paddler education, and to stress the importance of being a responsible and prudent mariner.
Please wear a lifejacket while paddling. Please also note that Connecticut State law requires a lifejacket to be onboard at all times for each person and that it be worn from October 1st to May 31.
