BIPOC Centered Swim Lessons

Join our Wade King Recreation Center partners for BIPOC centered swim lessons!

The purpose of these swim lessons is to help BIPOC people of all backgrounds to connect with each other but it is also an opportunity to bring more diversity to the pool! These lessons are free for western students and are a great opportunity to work on swimming skills or even learn how to swim, all abilities are welcomed!
