Water babies of all skill levels have the opportunity to dive in to swimming this summer with a range of swim programs at Smyrna’s Tolleson Pool.
Smyrna’s summer swim programs continue this Saturday during registration for Session 2 classes, to be conducted June 15-25. Programs offered will include:
Infant & Preschool Program
Tadpoles (12 months – 2 years): the instructor will guide parents in teaching such skills as kicking, pulling, going under water and blowing bubbles; parent participation is mandatory, as are swim diapers.
Minnows (3-4 years): in addition to the skills learned above, toddlers will learn how to jump off the side and float on their backs; swim diapers are mandatory unless your toddler is potty trained; parent participation is not mandatory.
Seals (4-5 years): children are taught the above water adjustment skills as well as submerging, kicking, stroking, gliding, floating and water safety.
Red Cross Learn To Swim Program
Five levels are offered as part of this instructional course for children 5 1/2 and older. Each successive level introduces more refined swimming skills such as mastering different strokes, treading water, diving, swimming in deep water and overall preparation for swim team participation. For more information on an individual level, pick up the Spring & Summer 2009 Instructional Classes & Recreational Activities brochure at the Smyrna Community Center, or call 770 431 2842.
Registration will be held from 9 to 11 a.m., with Smyrna residents registering first. Non-residents will then register on a first-come, first-served basis.
