Learn to Swim Program
ISB Learn to Swim Program (Both Sessions full)
The ISB Aquatics Department would like to thank the ISB community for your overwhelming support of our new ASA Learn to Swim Program.
Both sessions for this next semester are currently full, with a growing wait list.
For next year we will look at expanding both semesters to include 3 sessions each.
For those of you who did not get into these sessions, know that in March our ES PE swimming classes will start and these in-school classes follow the exact same American Red Cross program. So all ES students will become more water confident this semester.
Thanks again,
Corry Day (Aquatics Director)
