Along with Learn-to-Swim are Parent and Child Aquatics courses, revised to emphasize safety skills for both parents and children, and the three Preschool Aquatics courses to specifically address the developmental needs of young children.

Parent/Tot Ages 6 months -3 years One adult per child in the water This class is designed to educate parents on how to teach basic water adjustment for their infants or toddlers who have no water experience.

T-shirts are allowed for warmth. Youth Program Ages 6-12 Adult/Teen Level 1 Adult/Teen classes are designed to meet the student at their level, whether they are looking for stroke refinement or just to gain confidence with basic water skills. The instructor will work with each student individually to help accomplish individual goals. Ages 13 and Older Beginners This class teaches basic swimming skills and strokes.

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and the Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone -and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
