SUMMER 2010

Swimming Lessons: (You must register by mail, fax or phone only.)

The Parks, Recreation and Community Education department will be offering group swimming lessons for children ages 2 to 15 years old. Class levels range from Preschool to Level 5 and are offered in the morning and afternoon. Each class will be 50 minutes long and will take place at Long Lake Beach. Classes are taught by our certified instructors who are also lifegaurds. Although there are 10 classes scheduled for each session, we sometimes are forced to cancel class due to inclement weather. Because of this, we have included extra time-BUT you are guaranteed 8 lessons per each session! Depending on the level, we will only be accepting 8-12 students per class. Space is limited so we would suggest that you sign up early to avoid disappointment.

After 15 years of research in over 1,400 communities in the U.S., Challenger has developed an innovative way of doing just that! Our staff has developed a unique way of coaching called the “Challenger Way”. This addresses the technical, tactical, physical and psychological requirements of the game at each age level.
