What Schools Need to Know About the 2026/2027 WSWC School Insurance Program
As preparations begin for another season on the water, Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada (WSWC) would like to remind schools and operators about the benefits and requirements of the 2026/2027 School Insurance Program.
The program is designed to support towed watersports schools across Canada by providing liability coverage, business support, and access to WSWC programs and services.
What’s Included?
The School Insurance Program provides:
- General Comprehensive Liability Insurance
- Business Exposure
- Program Access & Services
Coverage is provided for a 12-month period beginning on the later of April 1 or the enrollment acceptance date and continuing through March 31.
New for 2026/2027
Hydrofoil activities are now included under the general liability policy at no additional cost. This update expands coverage options for schools offering hydrofoil programming and activities.
Coverage for winch/start pool activities continues to be available. Schools interested in this coverage should contact the WSWC office for additional information.
Coaching Requirements
To ensure a safe environment for participants and maintain insurance compliance, all schools must have a certified coach on site at all times during activities.
Schools are responsible for ensuring that all coach information remains current and that coaches meet all applicable WSWC requirements. Coaches who do not meet the required standards may not be covered under the policy.
Additional Benefits
In addition to insurance coverage, participating schools receive recognition as a WSWC Member Towed Water Sports School and are included in WSWC’s school listings and referral network, helping connect new participants with programs across the country.
