White Plains Department of Recreation and Parks is gearing up for their Jump In and Swim! program.
Jump In and Swim!
Every child and adult should have the opportunity to learn to swim. Jump In and Swim! is designed to help children and adults learn basic swimming skills and water safety practices. Learning these skills helps to build confidence and self-esteem. Swimmers will grow stronger in body, mind and spirit.
All Jump In and Swim! events are free and take place at the White Plains High School pool. To register for these programs, contact Ellen Albers, 914-422-1255 or ealbers@whiteplainsny.gov.
11:00 – 11:45 am: Water Safety Clinic for ages 6+
11:45 am – 12:15 pm: Different Strokes Swimming Demonstration for ages 6+
12:15 – 1:30 pm: Free Family Swim for age 3+
Swimming and Water Safety Booklist, Storytime, and Free Books!
In collaboration with Jump In and Swim!, we have put together a booklist featuring titles related to swimming and water safety, below. Books will be on display in the Trove at the Library. In addition, we will be giving away copies of Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim: A Child's First Guide to Water Safety by Kim and Stew Leonard, Jr. (while supplies last) during Storytime at the Library on Thursday, March 27 at 11:00am.
