Purpose

The purpose of the Swimming Pool program is to provide social development services for Boys & Girls Clubs’ members. This is accomplished through the implementation of a weekly program plan that includes individual and group swim lessons, tournaments and contests, group clubs and lifesaving training. The pool program promotes individual and group water safety skills, health/fitness and opportunity for leadership development.

Informal counseling, both individually and in groups, occurs daily in the swimming pool.
