Special Children's Swim Program

This program is for children ages 2-19 years with any physical need, requiring help in learning to swim. It is a free session held once a week by a group of qualified volunteers who give freely of their time to help children along. The program is aimed at preparation for eventual integration into the regular community recreation program. Water is the finest form of exercise, combined with lots of fun and enjoyment. For further information, please contact Judy Rynbeek at 905.668.4215.
