You and your family can participate in one of the 30 swimming lessons at the Door County YMCA in Sturgeon Bay and Fish Creek.  Aquatics Director Heidi Honold says that age levels range from preschool up to the Dolphin Club and competitive swim team.  Honold adds that it is important for young children to know how to adapt to water in the pool and learn what to do when they fall or struggle in the pool.

Honold says many tools are available for people who utilize the pool, even for non-swimmers, like water walkers who benefit from water resistance.  Winter Session II registration at the Door County YMCA will start later in February, with a one-hour swim challenge planned for March.  The idea is to achieve the top number of yards in a one-hour swim at the YMCA during the month with no aid of equipment other than a swim cap and goggles.
