4th and 5th grade students are swimming during their PE classes this week and next week (Dec 9 – Dec. 20, 2019)!!! It is an exciting time! Students should remember to bring swim suits, one big and one smaller towel, swim caps (girls) and 2 grocery (Kroger, Walmart, Target, Meijer) bags for their wet swim clothes. All students will be wearing life jackets during swim class. During this swim time we will be working on getting used to being in and around the water, the proper way to kick and proper arm form when swimming. This is not a full swim course, so please don’t assume your child will know how to swim after our swim class if they did not know how to swim before the class. However, they should feel more comfortable and excited to take swim lessons. I highly encourage parents to sign up their children to take swim lessons. Swim lessons are taught during the year through the Dearborn Schools Community Education program ( call 313 827-1900) and through the City of Dearborn Recreation Department at the Center(call 943-2350).
