  • Cost: $60
  • Led by Coach Anita Parisi
  • Adult Learn to swim is for adults who do not know how to swim. Participants will begin by learning to submerge underwater, to float on the back and stomach, and to kick. They will then progress to using proper arm strokes and to rolling to the back for a breath.

Masters Swimming is for any adult over the age of 18 who wants to lap swim in a structured class with other participants. As long as the swimmer can make it across the 25 yard pool with any ability of side breathing, they will find the class beneficial for exercise and skill building. Workouts will be tailored to the individuals’ ability level while also trying to maintain group cohesion (which makes swimming for exercise much more fun!). There will be a July session as well – info will be posted later.
