Our Summer Camp Swim Program is a fun, safe, and enjoyable
activity specifically designed to meet the needs of the Child’s Day summer camp. It
incorporates the format of the Red Cross Learn to Swim
program, but is not quite as formal, since some children may not be attending every week
of the summer. The children are shown progress on our Summer Camp Progress Reports posted
