The Milford Recreation Department is excited to offer this years Learn to Swim program.
Whether or not you plan to head to the pool, water is all around us - in rivers, lakes, Long Island Sound, oceans, and even bathtubs. By equipping your child with the lifesaving skill of swimming you'll be opening doors to a lifetime of fun, fitness, and enjoyment.
Our swimming classes for kids are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. And although some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.
The program will be run by swimming instructor Emily Eschweiler.
