Parks & Recreation and the City Parks Foundation have kicked off this year’s annual Learn-to-Swim Program at three sites in Queens.
Learn-to-Swim is a free instructional program that runs at New York City’s public outdoor pools. The program teaches tots (ages 1 – 5) and children (ages 6 – 14) basic water safety and swimming skills. This summer, there are two three-week Learn-to-Swim sessions, and one five-week session.
