FAIRHOPE -- The City of Fairhope Municipal Pool will offer group children swim lessons beginning in March. A variety of classes will be offered including Parent and Child Aquatics focusing on infants and children ages 18 month to 3 year becoming comfortable with the water so they are willing and ready to learn to swim. The remainder of the  classes, directed by Red Cross Instructor Michael Rogers will combine techniques used in Red Cross, Starfish, and USA swimming. The program is designed for children over 3 years all the way up to adults, and students’ progress through the levels at their own pace, mastering the skills in one level before advancing to the next. Each level of the classes includes training in basic water safety and helping others in an emergency, in addition to stroke development. Courses will meet for 8 sessions of 45 minutes each.
