The YWCA of Van Wert County is now accepting registration for their next session swim lessons.\u00a0 The eight-week swim session begins January 10 and runs through February 28.<\/p>\n
The YWCA offers two basic youth swim programs: Red Cross Preschool Swim Program and Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross Preschool Swim Program works with children 3-5 years old, teaching them the basic water propulsive skills, creating awareness of their aquatic environment and working on gaining their greater aquatic independence. The YWCA also offers a Parent-Child class for younger children 6 months to 2 years old. These classes are 30 minutes long. Class fees for this eight-week program are $28 for members and $36 for non-members.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program begins at Level 1, helping participants feel comfortable in the water and works up through Level 6, which refines strokes and teaches participants to swim with ease, efficiency, power and smoothness over great distances. These classes are 45 minutes long. Class fees for this eight-week program are $36 for members and $45 for non-members. Classes are held Tuesday evenings.<\/p>\n
The YWCA receives funding from the United Way of Van Wert County and The Van Wert County Foundation. For more information contact Program Director Danni Chiles at 419.238.6639.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
