Swimming Instruction

Roughing It's swim program provides American Red Cross swim lessons for beginner through advanced levels. All campers swim three times a week and are assigned to swim groups based on their ability level. Beginning swimmers participate in our water-readiness program that increases camper's comfort level while in the water and introduces them to floating, kicking, and the basics of swimming. Advanced swimmers enhance their skills through endurance building, stroke improvement, water polo, diving, synchronized swimming, and basic water rescue clinics. All of our swim staff are certified lifeguards, and senior staff are ARC Water Safety Instructor certified. Roughing It uses a variety of fun methods to help kids learn correct swim technique more effectively, including games and activities.
