8 Pools Offering Free Swimming Lessons This Summer

Kids, teens and even adults of all ages can learn to swim for free this summer, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Legacy Fund for Youth Sports. 

In 30- to 45-minute lessons, participants learn basic water safety skills, become comfortable in the water and gain an introduction to swimming. Each registered swimmer will receive a swimsuit, swim caps, goggles, a bag and a towel to get them started on their swimming journey. 

The beginner-friendly lessons are ideal for children ages 5 to 13, but any teen or adult who wants to learn is welcome. Any child under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Ready to make some waves? Lessons are still available at six metro Detroit pools. Find one near you and get ready to make a splash!
