Swim for Success is a program that combines after school tutoring, physical fitness, and developing or improving valuable swimming skills. Not only will strong swimming skills ensure that your child is comfortable and safe around water, but it will set them up to enjoy the vast experiences that life near the Great Lakes offers.
The program helps develop swimming technique for youth of all abilities and includes tutoring to ensure your child will excel in school. Tutoring and swimming instruction are provided by the Kalamazoo College Swim Team and other students from Kalamazoo College.
Tutoring is from 5:30 - 6:15pm (Optional)
Swim Lessons are from: 6:30-7:30pm
