1. Swim Classes Begin Soon
Summer is almost here, which means it is time to sign your kids up for swim classes again
at the Community Pool. Classes begin on Monday, May 1, and will continue throughout the
summer. Fifteen swim classes are being offered. Each class lasts ten hours. A new class starts
each week of the summer. Each class costs $20. The pool is big enough for six students per
class.
Classes will increase in difficulty each week. The first week is for children up to six years
old. The last week is for advanced swimmers who want to improve their race and endurance
skills.
Students can sign up for as many classes as they like, but they must pass the skills level
test. For example, students who sign up for Level 4 (Stroke Readiness) must show their certificate
for completing Level 3 or must demonstrate the front crawl and backstroke. Children cannot sign
up for a level they are not ready for. Children who have never attended Community Pool classes
must show up April 29 or 30 for a swim skills evaluation. Instructors will rate the students and
assign them to a particular skill level.
Swim classes are fun for all. Children learn new skills and make new friends. Parents get
to meet other parents in the community. Swimming, like bicycling, is a healthy and valuable skill
that, once learned, is never forgotten.
“It's a joy to teach young children,” said Ginger, the lead instructor for swimming
programs. “More than half of them are terrified when we put them into the water the first time. Two
months later, they're begging their parents to go to the pool every day.”
