CENTRAL-CLEMSON RECREATION CENTER
SWIM LESSONS
The Central-Clemson Recreation center offers a progressive learn- to- swim program starting with toddlers and ending with adults. Our approach to swimming is to expose children to the water during their younger years when fear of the water is less of a distraction and keep them swimming into their adult years. Our goal is to develop proficient swimmers of all ages, reduce the fear of water and educate on the dangers associated with open waters.
GROUP SWIM LESSON
We offer a 4 week GROUP SWIM LESSON session each year, beginning in June. This offers the option to attend Monday/Wednesday classes or Tuesday/Thursday classes with flexible time options. Our group lessons are both economical and effective.
