Es Nàutic facilitates access to the sea and sailing with inclusive summer courses

During a meeting held at the headquarters of the Club Nàutic Sant Antoni (CNSA), this entity and the Ibiza IN association have renewed the collaboration agreement that will enable the 'Estiu IN a Es Nàutic' programme to be held for the fourth consecutive summer.

This initiative was created to facilitate access to the benefits offered by the sea and sailing to all children, regardless of their physical or intellectual conditions. It is an inclusive action linked to Es Nàutic's intensive summer courses, which aims to guarantee equal opportunities for students with functional diversity.

The signing of the agreement was attended by the president of Ibiza IN, María Consuelo Guerra; the manager of the CNSA, Diana Loro, and the sports director of the CNSA, Enrique Mas. This agreement foresees that one or two students with functional diversity per group can benefit from the activity, which requires the participation of specialized monitors and specific technical means. Es Nàutic has already managed to recruit the necessary human resources to cover this collaboration agreement, despite the staffing problems on the island. In addition, given that Ibiza IN has more and more members, an increase in requests from the families who are part of the group is expected.  

It is worth remembering that more than 500 students from all over the island attend the Es Nàutic summer courses every season. Five two-week courses will be held, starting on the 24th of June and ending on the 30th of August. The main novelty is the increase in the number of places, which has been increased by 24 per course, thanks to the enlargement of the team of monitors, reaching a total of 80 boys and girls. There are four modalities available for learning nautical sports activities: dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing for schoolchildren aged between 8 and 12, and Jardín del Mar, for children aged 6 and 7.
