And, he's only seven. No matter the season, Eduardo's enthusiasm for the sport shows that swimming for fun, exercise or competition, can take place all year long. Swimming helps kids become better athletes. The Chicago Park District offers year round swimming activities at 12 public schools and colleges throughout the city. The program brings a wide variety of water opportunities, such as water polo, diving and water ballet, to communities.
Swimming lessons are available for toddlers, children and adults.
In addition, family swim sessions give parents a chance to enjoy the water with their children. Each facility is staffed with certified lifeguards to provide instruction and enforce water safety. Teen and children classes, taught by certified lifeguards, are free. Registration is year-round and based on availability. Even in the winter, families can still get fit and have fun by participating in swimming instruction and water activities in indoor pools.
