GLENVILLE, WV - Swimming lessons soon will be held at Glenville State College for local residents.

Sign-ups will take place Tuesday, June 17th, Wednesday, June 18th, and Thursday, June 19th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at the GSC Pool, located in the basement of the Physical Education Building. Student swimming abilities will be tested during sign-ups.

Lessons are geared toward anyone ages four to 12 years of age. However, teens and adults are welcome to sign up as well.

The weekly lessons will begin on Monday, June 23rd and will take place Monday through Thursday, with Friday as a make-up day. Lessons last between 30 to 45 minutes each and will occur between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m.

Group instruction is $40 per student, semi-private classes are $50 dollars per student, and private lessons are $100 dollars per student. Each consists of four lessons.

"We are happy to offer swimming lessons to area youth again and to provide this service to our local communities," said GSC Aquatics Manager Jennifer Wenner. "Students can also download the American Red Cross 'Swim App' – it's a great companion to the Red Cross 'Learn-to-Swim Program.' It also helps keep swimmers motivated and gives water safety information," she continued.
