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 swim by them selves safely in the pool. 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 people learn to swim the easier it it tto learn. 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.
