Learn To Swim
Vicksburg City Pool will hold registration for its American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” program May 14-16, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day; and Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to noon at the City Park Pavilion adjacent to City Pool on Lee Street.

The classes use a level-based system starting at Level 1 (beginners) through Level 6 (advanced). Students must be at least 5 years old and able to stand comfortably in the shallow area of the pool. Adults are also welcome and encouraged to participate, and there are also classes for 3- and 4-year-olds. There is no upper age limit for the program.

The cost for each two week session is $15 and is payable by cash or check only. Because of limited space and high demand, early registration is encouraged for the lower-level beginner classes.

For the 3- and 4 year-olds classes, a parent or adult guardian is required to be in the water with each child. All classes are taught by certified Water Safety Instructors.

Classes are designed to be taught in eight 45-minute periods. Three sessions will be taught throughout the summer and classes will be held Monday through Friday for two weeks. Sessions are scheduled for June 2-13, June 23-July 4, and July 14-25.
