HOOD RIVER — Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District, in cooperation with Columbia Gorge Masters Swim Team, will offer four free swim lessons during the month of August to any interested adult 18 years of age and older. This program is made possible through grant funding from the USA Swimming Foundation and U.S. Masters Swimming.
Adult swimmers of all ability levels are welcome to participate — from the complete beginner with possible fear of the water, to the swimmer who wants to master the basic strokes and breathing, to the more advanced swimmer who would like to improve stroke technique. The teaching will be tailored to the student’s comfort and ability level with a low teacher-to-student ratio. Four class sessions will be offered, and they are free. Participants are encouraged to attend all four classes. There will be time at the end of each class for participants to practice their skills. Classes will be offered from 6:45-7:45 p.m. the first two weeks in August on Tuesdays and Thursdays: Aug. 5, 7, 12, & 14.
Pre-registration is required. Register for the program at the Aquatic Center, or by calling 541-386-1303. Information on the program can be found at hoodriverparksandrec.org/adult-learn-to-swim2025.
Columbia Gorge Masters will provide volunteer instructors under the direction of HRVPRD staff. Columbia Gorge Masters practices Monday through Friday from 6-7:30 a.m. For more information, visit www.hrvst.org.
