Swimming Program

Our new aquatics center consists of three pools for instruction:

• The first pool is a shallow pool 2-1/2 feet deep, a safe and appropriate depth for the beginning swimmer.
• The second pool is an intermediate pool 3-1/2 feet deep, perfect for instruction at all swim levels.
• The third pool is a four lane lap pool, complete with starting blocks, and varying in depth from 3-1/2 to 9 feet deep.

The swimming program is directed by Red Cross Water Safety instructors who will be implementing the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. Each camper will receive a swimming progress report during each session. Red Cross certificates will be awarded to those who complete the requirements. Instruction is organized with an approximately 1:4 teacher-student class ratio.

Each camper will be evaluated on the first day of each session to ensure proper class placement.
Waterfront rules are strictly enforced to ensure the safety of all campers. Each camper swims twice a day. The morning instructional swim is compulsory for kindergarteners-Grade 6 (unless illness or other circumstances preventing participation are presented in writing by the parent). The afternoon "free swim" is carefully supervised; campers may practice their skills or enjoy the water with their friends.

All pools are meticulously maintained and comply with the regulations of the State Department of Health.
