Brookings-Harbor School District is again partnering with the City of Brookings to help relieve the financial burden of summer swim lesson registration fees for local families. The funding for this program comes from a portion of the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) Summer Learning Grant awarded to the district for K-8 enrichment activities.
Providing access to swim lessons is important because learning swimming skills can reduce the risk of drowning and improve water safety skills, and swimming is a fun way to stay active and exercise.
To qualify to participate at no cost the child must be entering Kindergarten through 9th grade in Fall 2022, and the lessons must be public group lessons, not private sessions.
To request financial assistance, the adult filling out the form should mark the “Request Financial Assistance” checkbox provided at the top of the Swim Lesson Registration Card when signing up for a session of lessons at the Brookings Pool front desk, located at 1130 Ransom Avenue, Brookings. The City will waive the fee for the session, and the school district will reimburse the city for all applicable swim fees. Financial assistance will be provided for one session of the lessons per child while funds are available
This summer the pool plans to be open until Sept. 2. The remaining swim lesson sessions are Session 2 (July 4-July 15); Session 3 (July 18-July 29); Session 4 (August 1-August 12); and Session 5 (August 15-Sept. 2). The daily schedule includes swimming lessons between 9:30 a.m. and noon and 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Sign-ups for public group lessons are in-person at the pool front desk and start one week ahead of each session. Without financial assistance, the cost for residents is $60 for each two-week session and $90 for non-residents.
