April 9, 2024 – Westchester County Parks’ Learn to Swim program returns this summer for children ages three through 14, and teenagers and young adults ages 15 and older. The program will take place at all four county-owned pools, with registration opening, Thursday, April 11 at noon.
Learn to Swim for children will be held in two sessions, Tuesdays through Thursdays, with session one beginning Monday, July 1 (first week of classes are Monday through Wednesday due to the holiday) through Thursday, July 18 and session two from Tuesday, July 23 through Thursday, Aug. 8. Class times to choose from are 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. for both sessions.
Learn to Swim for ages 15 and older will be held in two sessions, Saturdays and Sundays, with session one beginning Saturday, July 6 through Sunday, July 21 and session two will run from Saturday, July 27 through Aug. 11. Times for both sessions are 9:15 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Each session is $80 per person for both age groups.
Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said, “Learning to swim is an important skill for people of all ages to have and you can begin to learn at any age. The Westchester County Parks Lifeguards are a group of skilled individuals, who will teach swimmers both new and experienced how to swim and improve their form. After the success of the adult Learn to Swim program last summer, I’m excited to welcome back participants who are 15 and older to Learn to Swim at our pools.”
Learn to Swim will be held at Saxon Woods Pool in White Plains, Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers, Tibbetts Brook Pool in Yonkers and Willson’s Woods Pool in Mt. Vernon. For additional information, call (914) 231-4556.
