Sharon Board of Recreation & Youth

Swimming Lessons

Swimming is an activity that provides enjoyment and a feeling of physical well being to all participants. Knowing how to swim is of utmost importance and personal safety is an important consideration around water.

The aquatic program at the Sharon Community Beach is available to all residents of Sharon. The program runs for two (2) consecutive three (3) week sessions. The basic objective is to teach people to swim with a progressive set of skills in a safe environment. In order for each child to succeed in the program, regular attendance is of the utmost importance.

The Sharon Swim Program offers the following courses:

A Basic Learn-to-Swim course, which consists of:

• Level I : Water Exploration

• Level 2: Primary Skills

• Level 3: Stroke Readiness

• Level 4: Stroke Development

• Level 5: Stroke Refinement

• Level 6: Skill Proficiency

• Level 7: Advanced Skills

In the past, the Sharon swim program has offered courses such as:

• A Community Water Safety Course

• A Water Safety Instructor Aide Course

• An Infant and Pre-School Course

• Adult Swimming Lessons

• Lifeguard Training

Should any resident desire one of these courses that have been offered in the past, we ask that you call the recreation director at 364-1400.

If enough community interest is expressed, the SBRY will attempt to find an instructor for the course, or make it a regular component of the Sharon Swim Program.
