Can we have children on the boat cheering & supporting family members?
We cannot stipulate whether or not you bring your children on the boat, we can only stipulate that you adhere to lake, boating, and rental rules where it applies to children.
We can offer, however, that as much as some children love boat rides and will plead to go, and as much as you may like to make this a family affair, it truly depends on the following considerations as to whether (or not) this is a good idea:
Keep in mind that if you ask your teammates they may politely agree without thinking of the variables or considering any of the above issues.

We can offer, however, that as much as some children love boat rides and will plead to go, and as much as you may like to make this a family affair, it truly depends on the following considerations as to whether (or not) this is a good idea:
- age & temperament of children
- tolerance or intolerance of teammates
- goals re: team camaraderie
- size of the boat (no run-around space)
- weather ("usually" cold in the morning & then sunny for hours)
- no tubing or water skiing with water temptation all around
- the boat ride is slow (swimmer pace)
- will children in question tolerate wearing a life jacket for up to 6 hours straight?
- room on board for 6 swimmers, 6 bags, some parkas, snacks, other stuff?
- no bathroom breaks
Keep in mind that if you ask your teammates they may politely agree without thinking of the variables or considering any of the above issues.
