For 41 years the Okauchee Lake Sailing School has been introducing sailing to youth in Waukesha County and surrounding areas.  The tradition will go on in 2025 as we will open our doors to kids ages 4-18 who want to experience the fun, camaraderie and thrill that the Okauchee sailing community has to offer.  The OLSS will provide opportunities for beginners who would like to learn how to sail, intermediate sailors who wish to continue honing their skills and advanced racers who are ready to measure their skills against the top competitors from other Inland Lakes.
