Adult and Youth Swim Lessons
Swim lessons are open to students, faculty, staff AND the
community. No HRC membership is required to take lessons! We are
offering Adult Group Swim Lessons, "Teaching Old Dawgs New Tricks."
These lessons are for adults that just never had the opportunity or
were too timid to get into the water and learn to swim. All
beginner swimmers are welcome and the dates and times are listed
below. It's never too late to learn to swim!
The American Red Cross, Learn to Swim Parent Tot, Level 1,2, 3,
4, 5, & 6 are also offered. There are 8 lessons per session.
