Swimming ABC’s - Free Swim Lessons for Adult (18+) Women, provided in partnership with Minnesota Masters Swimming

All instructors, volunteers and lifeguards will be women, and there will be privacy on the pool deck so that Muslim women can participate. This program is designed for adults who never learned how to swim or have anxiety around water. Participants will learn to be more comfortable and safer in the water. Participants will learn skills including putting face in the water while blowing bubbles, sculling, treading water, kicking, and back float / front float. Each participant will be matched with a volunteer and will progress at their own pace.
