Do you want to boost your swimming ability?  Let us help you.  We offer three levels of adult classes: beginner, intermediate and stroke development.  The description for each of these levels is as follows:

Beginner

    Participants are introduced to the water and basic swim skills.  The overall goal is to have the participants feel more comfortable and enjoy being in the water.

Intermediate

    Participants will build on the basic swim skills and work towards defining and perfecting the mechanics of each stroke.

Stroke Development

    Participants will engage in a guided practice of their current skill level to increase efficiency and endurance of all swim stroke and swim skills.

Other participants: $65

There will be one session of swim lessons offered this fall.  The session will begin on September 21st and will end on November 5th.  The time and day for each of the classes are outlined in the table below.  Registrations are being taken now and will continue through the day of the first lesson.  Participants must be 16 years of age or older.

American Red Cross Training

You never know when an injury or medical emergency will occur to someone in your family, to a co-worker, or to anyone you meet. Would you know how to help? The American Red Cross teaches lifesaving skills in First Aid and CPR, as well as water safety and lifeguard training. Through just a few hours of training, you can learn to be ready to help in an emergency.


CPR for the Professional Rescuer/AED Training

Course Details: Newly revised according to Guidelines 2005. Geared to the professional rescuer, this course covers two-rescuer CPR, use of a resuscitation mask, use of a bag valve mask, use of an AED, and a review of fundamental adult, infant and child CPR skills. Students can earn a CPR/PR/AED certificate valid for one year. NOTE: This course is the equivalent of the BLS Healthcare Provider of the  American Heart Association.
