Join the fun of EcoSwim! EcoSwim clinics combine the essentials of water safety and survival swimming with environmental education around water. Volunteer swim instructors share their love for the water by teaching essential water safety skills and building confidence in assessing the safety of a swimming location, conducting basic rescues, and reading water quality indicators such as temperature flow, and other parameters. Join for a pool swimming lesson, followed by a picnic lunch, nature walk and art in the park, and a new sense of connection with the water.

Prerequisites:
* Must be 15 year old or older
