Group Swim Lessons
 

Woodbridge Village Association plans to bring a spring series of group swim lessons to Woodbridge for the first time! This is a perfect opportunity to start your children early so they can get a head start learning swimming techniques for the summer. There will be five sessions offered. Each session consists of six days of a 25 minute lesson per two week session. The spring program is structured so that within a two week period the emphasis is on improvement of swimming and safety skills. As each person is an individual, each has a different rate of learning. It is not at all unusual for a student to spend two or three sessions at any specific level. In fact, it is sometimes advantageous to stay at the same level, in order to build a strong foundation to make the next level a satisfying experience for both the student and the instructor.
     All classes have a minimum and maximum enrollment to afford the most effective learning situation for the student. Woodbridge Participation Certificates will be given to each participant who completes their swim class.
