General swim lessons are for children 5 years of age and older.  Lessons are for 45 minutes each day, Monday through Thursday.  Each session is one week (4 lessons) long.  PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR LESSONS YOUR CHILD WILL ATTEND!

Water Aerobics – Water aerobics is a good low impact workout that uses water resistance to build muscle and cardiovascular fitness. The club will be offering this program on weekdays once schools have closed for the summer.  We are also exploring the possibility of having a water aerobics class for children. This will be determined by the amount of interest expressed by the members.  Please e-mail the swim chairman to show your interest or see the water aerobics instructor at the pool. Begins in June. Mon-Wed-Fri from 1:00-2:00PM.  See Swimming Bulletin Board for updates.

Adult Physical Fitness – Depending on the level of interest and Board support, the club may have an adult physical fitness program.  The program will include lap swimming and stroke improvement.  Session times/days will be determined according to the interest of the participants.
