After School Swimming Lessons
Parks & Recreation's tradition of free swim instruction continues
with this winter's season of After School Learn to Swim. Swimming
lessons for children ages 6-14 will be offered at nine pools throughout
the city. All classes will be held on weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. Dates vary from pool to pool. The program is free, and,
as space is limited, children will be accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis.
