Aqua Chicken

If you are one of the millions of people who have a fear of water, join this class! Adults who cannot swim are often embarrassed and worry that their children will pick up their fear. They also worry that if their children get into trouble in the water, they will not be able to help. However, we have patient instructors and friendly classes designed to help adults who want to learn to swim. We teach the most basic skills and proceed at the student's pace. We even include some basic rescue techniques that non-swimmers can use to help someone in case of an emergency.
