Swimming Lessons
The goal of Swimming Lessons at Bouws Pool is to help kids adjust to the water and learn essential swimming skills. Living in West Michigan, opportunities to be near water are abundant and we want to make sure kids are equipped with the age-appropriate skills to stay safe around the water. While parents are not asked to be in the water with their child, they should remain near the pool area during the lesson. Lessons run in 2-week sessions, Monday - Thursday. If weather cancellations occur, Fridays will be used as make-up days. This program will take place at our outdoor swimming facility, Bouws Pool.
