New sessions for group swim lessons kick off in August & September: available classes include Parent & Child, Preschool and Learn to Swim levels. These lessons are open to the community. Please review information at the link below. Registration for the August-September session closes August 4. We look forward to welcoming our new “swim students” to the pool!
Honored by the Medical Fitness Association, PWC is one of only two medically integrated fitness centers in Virginia.
Swim lessons
The following classes will be offered in PWC’s indoor warm water pool: Parent & Child (ages 6 months – 3 years), Preschool Aquatics (ages 3-5 years), and Learn to Swim (ages 6 – 13 years). Classes for children support the needs of never-ever swimmers as well as young swimmers progressing in their skills. Our learning environment focuses on learning skills in a fun way while also focusing on water safety – important knowledge for swimmers in order to help themselves or others in an aquatic emergency.
Registration deadline: June 9 for sessions 1 and 3; July 7 for session 2. Click here for information & registration form
