MAKING WAVES

More than a third of adults in the United States can't swim the length of a pool, which puts them at risk of being one of the 10 people who drown every day in this country. Our Learning the Basics swim program is trying to be a part of the front lines to change this, with education, outreach, and support.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Our Learning the Basics class is designed for swimmers with little to no experience in the water. Participants will learn the basic fundamentals of swimming, water safety, and stroke technique. Classes are an hour long, and take place in the shallow end of the pool. Some topics that will be covered include submersion in the water, floats, glides, and front crawl.
