Semester Classes

Semester watersports classes are offered at MBAC and are a great opportunity to get on the water or learn a new watersport once per week.  Priority registration is given to students registered for the class through their university. If space allows, non-students or students who want to take the class just for fun can register.

 

From January 29, 2024-February 2, 2024 SDSU students must obtain a permission number to join a semester-long class for credit. Please email info@mbaquaticcenter.com with the class activity, day, and time you would like to join. If you want to take the class for fun without credit you can add yourself to the waitlist by filling out this form
