Our Splash classes that are offered on Friday and Saturday mornings are designed for preschool aged children 3-6 years old. Our program is designed to introduce beginning swimming skills in a fun filled environment.  Swimmers will be introduced to these new skills through fun and games. They will learn how to get their face wet, go under water, float on their back and front and much more.  Swim Lessons are only offered one session at a time. Registration for the next session will open midway through the previous session. If the class is full it is always a good idea to add your child to the wait list and we will try to accommodate as much as possible depending on available staff!For Lesson questions please contact the Aquatics Director Nori Lund (nlund@wiscassetrec.com)
