Summer swim classes for kids

Lewis and Clark’s swim classes provide instruction to help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop their swimming and water safety skills. The classes, based on principles established by the American Red Cross, are designed to give students a positive learning experience in a relaxed, comfortable environment.

These kids’ swim classes teach aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. The objective is to teach children to swim and to be safe in, on and around the water. All swim class instructors and lifeguards are Certified Water Safety Instructors. Classes are held in a heated pool at the Hatheway Cultural Center on the Godfrey Campus.

For more information about Swim classes help deciding which class is right for your child, call Kathy Conlee, swim program coordinator, at 618-468-2860.
