CROOKSTON COMMUNITY POOL
2012 SPRING SWIMMING LESSONS

Swimming lessons can be very beneficial to your child. Not only is swimming a great form of exercise, swimming can be fun. After passing Beginner I and Beginner II your child should be able to save them selves in most pool setting. The Crookston Pool requires children to be potty-trained before they start swimming lessons. Most of the Beginner I students are 4 or 5 years old. Every child is different and some children may start earlier or later. The younger children learn to swim much easier than an older swimmer. If you haven't learned to swim by the sixth grade you might not ever learn to swim. You can register by calling the pool at 281-1180 or use the email or web page below.
