Toddler Swim Lessons ages 4-pre K Registration

Early swimming fosters a growing sense of self-esteem, confidence and independence. As a child’s ability to freely move through the water increases so does their sense of well-being. Registration will be held at City Hall from 10:30 am – 12:30pm on Saturday May 12th.  Cost is $5.50 county residents, $11 out of county (due at registration)  Children must be accompanied by an adult to participate. Lessons are M-W-F the week of June 25th from 11-11:45 am.
