The Thurmond Lake Sail & Power Squadron serves the upper Thurmond Lake Area of South Carolina and Georgia. We are in District 26 of the United States Power Squadron which encompasses 12 South Carolina Squadrons and Tybee Island, Georgia.

TLS&PS is a nonprofit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer and more enjoyable by teaching classes covering a wide range of nautical subjects like: basic boating, seamanship, and many more.

With 155 members; the Squadron is the largest sanctioned organization in Savannah Lakes Village. You do not have to be a resident or property owner of SLV to be a member. Our members have a wide variety of water craft: pontoon boats, sailboats, personal water craft and some members don’t even own a boat! You don’t have to own a boat to be a member…many just “catch a ride” during our boating outings.

Speaking of outings: Our motto is “Boating is fun --- We’ll show you how” and do we have fun! Our social calendar is filled every month of the year with dinner meetings with interesting programs, picnics, raftups, on the water scavenger hunts, poker runs and more!

Our members do a lot of good in our boating community as well. We provide vessel safety checks at no charge. Our boating classes for the public are taught by squadron instructors at no charge other than for materials. We also provide loaner life jackets to the public. Member benefits include: discounts on boat insurance, boating goods and supplies.
