SWIMMING<br />
<strong>NWSRA</strong> swim programs are designed for specific age groups and skill abilities. Instructors are supervised<br />
by a Water Safety Instructor. <strong>NWSRA</strong> maintains records on swim classes so it is not necessary to evaluate<br />
children who participated in the previous session for skill placement. Other individuals must be evaluated<br />
to assure proper instruction. See below for course descriptions to ensure proper placement. For further<br />
information regarding swim programs, please refer to Special Notice Section at the back of the brochure.<br />
