Swimming & Water Safety

Swimming is a life-long skill that everyone can enjoy regardless of age. We offer year-round Swimming and Water Safety programs through the American Red Cross. Participants learn how to be safe in, on, or around water and through progressive levels, learn knowledge and skills needed for aquatic skill development.

Parents are given safety information and taught techniques to help orient their children to the water and direction regarding how to supervise water activities.
