Want Your Child to Learn to Swim? Classes Begin in July!

Did you know that drowning is the second-leading cause of childhood accidental death for children younger than 14?  

Participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88 percent.

Why should your child learn to swim? Because learning to swim significantly reduces the risk of drowning. Whether or not you plan to head to the pool, water is all around.

Equip your child with this life skill and you'll also be giving him access to all the fun and fitness the water can provide.

Peters Township SwimClub's Learn to Swim is designed for children ages 4 and older with the goal of teaching swimming skills from beginner through pre-club level swimming.

Instruction is provided by PTSC members in small groups of two to four children, and supervised by certified coaches.

Lessons are designed in progressive levels based on the American Red Cross
standards—and there are still openings in July.  

The cost is $105 for Peters Township residents and $115 for non-residents.  
Dates and times for session two are:

July 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 (there are openings in all times in July, but only 1 left at 4:30)
