New parent-tot swim class sent to dive into RCS Aquatics Center

Responding to numerous requests from residents, a new parent-tot swim course that teaches youths as young as 18 months the basics of water safety while also providing a bonding experience for parent and child will begin on November 7.

The class, which runs for five weeks in the RCS Aquatics Center, is scheduled for Wednesdays and will provide parents with two session choices – mornings and evenings. The morning session begins at 9:45 a.m. and the evening session at 5:30 p.m. Each session is limited to 10 “tots.”

The class helps children become more comfortable in the water and develop a readiness for learning to swim.   Parents will also be provided with information to assist their child to adjust to the water. 

The fee for the class is $30 residents and $45 for non-residents.

“This is a great opportunity for parents and child to bond and learn valuable water safety information for the child,” said Aquatics Director Dave Burns. 

For more information can contact Aquatics Center Director Dave Burns at 756-5200, ext. 2065. A registration form is available on the district’s website by going to the Continuing Education page and opening the fall course guide. Once there, print either pages 7 or 8 to obtain a form.

Anyone interested in the class should bring a check and form to the first class.
