Swim Lessons

Picture
In 2023, the CRC will be able to train several of our lifeguards as a Water Safety Instructors. These instructors will be able to teach swim lessons. The CRC offers swim lessons for 2 age groups: ages 3-5 and ages 6-10. Lessons are taught by a certified Water Safety Instructor with assistance from an additional lifeguard staff member. A lifeguard is on duty at the pool during lessons.

We look forward to offering swim lessons again in 2023.
