Aquatic Program
...because every child should know how to swim.
We don't teach kids to play basketball on an adult court, nor would we teach a child to ski with adult equipment. It's just as silly to teach children to swim in an adult pool. That's why we specifically designed a pool only for kids. Come find out what families have learned about our Aquatic Program.
All Glenwood Country Day School's Aquatic Classes include:
- Individualized, small group or large group instruction by the area's best aquatics staff means campers develop excellent swimming skills.
- Lessons are designed to be rewarding and fun.
- Children do not need to be registered for camp to receive lessons.
- Competitive stroke mechanics.
