FALL 2011 SWIM CLASSES (ADULT SWIMMING LESSONS)

Adult swim classes are for those students or members who would like to learn a new skill, or simply build on whatever level of skill and ability they may already have. Class size is kept small, and pool access is limited only to the class that's scheduled. So whether you're a total beginner or more advanced recreational swimmer, we have the class to fit your needs.

Classes run in 4-week sessions (8-hours total instruction), and can be repeated or built on as your skill and ability increase. Simply pick the level at which you wish to start, and register at the Rec Center Cashier. Private Lessons are also available.

Mon/Wed classes meet in the Clare Small Pool ... Tues/Thurs classes meet in the Carlson Pool.
