Group Of Kids Kicking Their Legs During A Swim Lesson
Swimming Lessons, Learning Basics
Coordinators:  PRD Staff
We will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience.  These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.

Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.

Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water.  This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program.  Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.

Purpose:  The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves.  Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class.  Class limit is 6 participants.
