I took my kids to the base gym on Friday so my son could work out.  My daughter and I played ping-pong - well, we tried - and I grabbed a summer activities flyer from the MWR desk.  The first thing I noticed about the flyer was the announcement about swimming lessons.

My daughter learned to swim at an MWR pool at our last duty station.  The lessons were taught by a Red Cross-certified instructor and were very affordable.  Over two summers, she went from being a timid non-swimmer to a child who can jump into the deep end with confidence thanks to her swimming lessons and her afternoons at the base pool.

Swimming is a life skill everyone should have.  Your local military base pool offers lessons for children and adults, and you’ll probably pay less than you would at your community pool.  For example, my local recreation department charges $70 - $75 for youth swimming lessons, while our base pool charges active duty family members $45 - $55.  Why not sign up?
