Waterside Sharks Swim Club: Sign up your child today!
They amazing thing about learning to swim--about becoming really, truly comfortable and confident in the water--is that it often just takes one relatively brief period of immersion when you're young, and then it stays with you for the rest of your life. We remember when it happened to us, the summer between third and fourth grades, when he had access to a pool several times a week for a month or so, on some otherwise long-forgotten family vacation, and how we went from, you know... keeping our head above water to really being swimmers. And then years and years later, we had the extreme pleasure of watching our children go through the same thing, at about the same age, though with them it was a city pool.
Remarkable.
Right now you can give your child a lifetime of security and aptitude in the water with The Waterside Plaza Swim and Health Club's Waterside Sharks, a swim club for kids ages 7 - 13, meeting two afternoons a week. During these fast-paced 45-minute sessions, Coaches Radenko and Jorge take the kids through all sorts of games and exercises designed to teach proper breathing techniques and body positions, as well as racing starts and turns. The ultimate goal of the Waterside Sharks is create several swim teams that will compete in the Metro Zone league starting next September, but for now it's all about learning, confidence and, of course, tons of fun.
To sign up your child today, or simply to receive more information about the Waterside Sharks, please stop by the Health and Swim Club or call 212-340-4225.
See you in the pool!
