Youth Swimming
Barb Hunt directs our swim program that will be held at
the Charles Town Athletic Club. Our
program offers a variety of classes for children ages 3 months to 10 years of
age. Children will be taught skills
such as how to enter and exit a pool, back floating, kicking, arm movement, and
more. Parent-Child Swim This is an introduction to water class for children ages 3
to 36 months and a parent or guardian. Participants
will learn water adjustment and personal safety as well as basic water skills.
Children must wear snug fitting plastic pants and swim diapers under a
swim suit-no disposable or cloth diapers. Pre-school 1 In this class, children ages 3-5 will get an introduction
to water without a parent. Children
will learn how to blow bubbles, submerge head, float, kick, and stroke on front
and back with support. Pre-school 2 Children
