WAYNESBURG – Greene County Department of Recreation will offer swimming lessons this summer at Alpha Aquatic Center in Franklin Township and Carmichaels Pool at Wana B Park.

Registration for swim lessons will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 1 at Alpha Aquatic Center.

The registration for Carmichaels Pool will be held there from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 2.

Anyone unable to attend the registration may register their child during the pool’s business hours up until the first day of class, as space permits.

Lessons are $25 per class, and payment will be due upon registration.

Each class is designed for swimmers of certain skill levels.

Class instructors will determine which class to place each swimmer.

A minimum of five swimmers must be registered for each class to run with a maximum of 15 swimmers per class.

Classes are staggered this year, so the same class level is not held during the same week at both pools.

Some classes may be combined or canceled due to enrollment, and refunds will only be given if the Department of Recreation cancels the class.

The class levels are as follows: Parent and Child Aquatics for parents and children ages 6 months to 3 years; Pre-School Aquatics for ages 4 to 5; Level 1, Introduction to Water Skills; Level 2, Fundamental Aquatic Skills; Level 3, Stroke Development; Level 4, Stroke Improvement; Level 5, Stroke Refinement; and Level 6, Swimming and Skill Proficiency.

Both pools, as well as Mon View Pool in Greensboro, will open this Saturday for the three-day holiday weekend.

All three pools will then be closed for swimming while school is in session from May 31 through June 3 before reopening daily beginning June 4.
