AQUATICS

Swimming Lessons Fall 2007 (pdf format).

Even though the Hazen Ave facility is closed down, the Y will continue its deep tradition of delivering Aquatics lessons for youth. In the summer, our Day Camps will enjoy the pool at Saint John High School, 3 days a week.

Starting this fall, we will be offering swim lessons for Pre-schoolers to Advanced Swimming. All programs will be on Saturdays. Stay tuned over the summer for a schedule and registration guidelines.

Thank you to all members and non-members who have "learned to swim" in our Hazen Ave. pool. Over the years we have taught thousands of children how to do the breaststrokes, flutter kick, tread water and hold their breath under water but even more importantly we have taught thousands about Respect, Enrichment, Accessibility, Caring and Honesty. Stuff, we hope, saves lives!
