Our hearts are with the family, friends, and first responders affected by last night’s tragic drowning incident near Washington Park Beach.

Many members of our sailing school community spend time on these waters, and news like this impacts all of us. We know families may have questions, and we want to reassure our students, campers, and parents that safety remains the foundation of the programs we offer.

South Shore Sailing School maintains strict safety protocols, including required life jackets while on the water, trained instructors and safety boat operators, continuous supervision of students, weather monitoring, and emergency response procedures that are regularly reviewed and practiced by our staff.

While no words can ease the pain of a tragedy like this, it serves as a reminder that Lake Michigan is a powerful and ever-changing environment that deserves our respect and attention.

Please join us in keeping those affected in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Michigan City police said they are searching for a child who was seen going into the water and disappearing.
