Water Babies – Water babies classes are offered to pre-schoolers and their parents in the evenings usually in late July.  Two one week sessions are typically held and are tailored to the registered participants.  A 30 minute class is held for babies 6 months to 2 years old and another class for 3 and 4 year olds.  Please see the pool manager for registration.

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 – The club will have an adult physical fitness program this year.  The program will include lap swimming and stroke improvement.  Session times/days will be determined according to the interest of the participants.  There will be one session two to three days a week either in the early morning hours or in the evenings.

DIVING LESSONS:  BSR invites members to register for a new lesson program that we are re-introducing this year – Diving.  Registration forms are available in the BSR office or on the web site and should be completed and returned with the registration fees per the instructions below.
