We will meet Mondays from 7:15 - 8:15pm. Yes, we know that is ‘late’ but there is very, very limited availability in pools across our area. We are grateful the LPC is opening up three lanes for us during this time each week for the swim league.
How many lanes? We will have three lanes reserved for the Swim League. To prevent over crowding in the lanes, it will be first come first serve and capped at 15 total participants. See below for more info on what will be taught and what to expect at the swim sessions.
Cost: The Swim League is only a $5 fee to the Lelia Patterson Center for pool usage! The coaches, an additional donation to the LPC for facility usage and swim programming are paid for through the iDream Athletes Foundation scholarship fund.
