Level 1 Leisure Pool

powered by Group swim lessons are for children 3 to 17 years old. Adults interested in swim lessons are invited to register for adult group, private, and semi-private lessons. All lessons are held in the Leisure Pool unless otherwise noted.

Registration Deadline Please register your children by December 27. We regret that we may be unable to adjust schedules to accommodate late registrations.

Infant Water Safety Leisure Pool The goal of this private, one-on-one lesson is to promote a positive response to the water environment and teach your 6- to 24-month old baby to float on his or her back and get a breath of air. The emphasis is on water adaptation and training children to react in a constructive manner should they find themselves in water accidentally. A coach will work with your child in the water.

PLEASE NOTE: Completion of this class does not mean your child is water-safe. Adult supervision is still required whenever your child is around water. Completing this class may, however, provide you with some extra moments should an accident occur.

Fee (PRE/BAS/MR/NR): $90 /$106 /$131 /$156 Please call 513.229.8555, extension 5510 to schedule your class.

Swim Tots In this parent-assisted class, your 6- to 36-month old child will become acclimated to the aquatic environment. Children in diapers must wear swim diapers or securely fitted pants. Please come prepared to accompany your child in the water.

Prerequisite: Three years old and comfortable in the group class setting without a parent.

Working with the coach, your child will learn to put his or her face in the water and blow bubbles. Students will advance to the next level when they can do ten relaxed bobs.

To participate in this class, your child must be comfortable in the group class setting without a parent. If you register and the first class is difficult, we will transfer your enrollment to a Mason Swim Academy Level 1 w/parent.

Leisure Pool

Leisure Pool

Prerequisite: Have a Mason Swim Academy Level 5/6 certificate or be able to complete 25 yards each of freestyle with rotary breathing and backstroke.

Stroke School is for swimmers who intend to learn advanced elements and stroke efficiency in all four stroke types. The stroke school includes the skills taught in Levels 7 and 8 of the Mason Swim Academy.

Prerequisite: Able to complete 25 yards each of freestyle with rotary breathing, backstroke, breast stroke, and butterfly.

After completing Stroke School, swimmers can move up to SwimFit, where the focus is on building the swimmer's strength and endurance in every stroke through drills, multiple laps, and on-deck coaching. SwimFit allows swimmers to get the feeling of being on a swim team without the competition. If a swimmer desires to be on a swim team like the Manta Rays Swim Team at Mason Community Center, SwimFit will provide a smooth transition.

Mom Applauds Daughter’s Progress at Mason Community Center

After seeing the results of individual swim instruction for her daughter at Mason Community Center, a very happy mom sent her thanks.

Hi Heather, I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know the progress Emily has made because of the swim lessons she had taken at the Mason Community Center.

At the beginning of the summer, Emily did not understand that she needed to keep her mouth closed in the water, much less even swim. After one lesson with Glenna [SwimAmerica coach at Mason Community Center], Emily began to understand she needed to keep her mouth closed in the water.

After 2 lessons, she was going under water and loving it! After 5 half-hour lessons, Emily was beginning to move herself in the water by use of her arms and legs in a swimming fashion. After 7 lessons, she was jumping off the side of the pool (without arm floaties) and able to right herself and get her face out of the water! And last week, Emily was in the water with Glenna (without arm floaties) and swam using her arms and legs with her face in the water!

I cannot tell you what these lessons have done for Emily this summer! Not only is she exponentially safer in the water, and can enjoy the pool with her sister and peers, she is stronger in her legs and core, which has helped her balance and running. And since she is not able to participate in any contact sports, swimming has provided an excellent means of exercise for Emily. I originally told Heather and Glenna at Mason Community Center that my goals for Emily were that she be able to understand closing her mouth and be able to learn to get her head above water if she went under. It is really amazing what she has learned above and beyond my original goals. It seems Emily loves to be in the water and is able to learn so much!!!

Should Paige’s Princess Foundation partner again with the Mason Community Center, if there is ever an opportunity for Emily to take additional lessons, please let me know. We really would love to be able to continue her safety and development in the water with swimming, and to build on what she has learned throughout the colder months. If not, thank you, thank you for providing swim lessons for Emily this summer! It has been a fantastic experience!!!

I’ve included a picture of Emily getting ready for swim lessons at the center so you can put a face with a name.

Best Regards,

Mason Community Center is proud to partner with Paige’s Princess Foundation to bring inclusive opportunities for all children to the center. With the foundation, Mason Community Center has presented special events to highlight recreational and resource organizations for families with special needs. Foundation scholarships may be available for swim lessons through the Mason Swim Academy’s Adaptive Aquatics and private swim lesson programs. For information, please contact Heather at Paige’s Princess Foundation by e-mailing hallesandro@fuse.net.

Activity Room B Young Rembrandts focuses on teaching children to draw using demonstration and a structured step-by-step process. This method of directed drawing gives students instruction on how to draw increasingly complex images at a crucial time in their development. Through the process of weekly instruction, students are exposed to a wide variety of subject matter, artistic concept, art history, and mastery of their materials.

Pre-School Drawing Designed with the youngest learners in mind. Subjects that youngsters are familiar with, such as animals and toys, are used along with their favorite learning tools—pictures, stories, touching, and doing—to enhance social and conflict resolution skills while improving listening, fine motor skills, and staying on task. You’ll be amazed at what they create!

Mason’s Post Rehab Program

GOLF

Let our Certified Athletic Trainer help you transition from managed physical therapy to your own exercise program.

Winter Golf Tip Practicing your golf swing over the winter requires determination and creativity. I like to work on my strength and flexibility by losing some weight and adding muscle mass in the off season.

This alone will not help your swing, but it will help you avoid injury and play better when the weather breaks.

• ��-week program • Certified Athletic Trainer guidance • A workout routine specific to your needs • Full membership at Mason Community Center for �� weeks • No enrollment fee to continue your Community Center membership

To learn more, stop in to talk to our Wellness Supervisior or call ���.���.����

Swinging a weighted club will help you maintain your flexibility and improve the strength in your wrists and arms, leading to increased club head speed. Do this in front of a mirror and check your balance at the end of your swing.

Always finish with your belt buckle facing the target.

Mason Community Center ���� Mason-Montgomery Road Mason, Ohio ����� ���.���.���� www.imaginemason.org

Try this over the winter and come springtime, you may find that ten extra yards you have been looking for. Good luck!

BASKETBALL

Basketball Court Availability Field House availability will be restricted through mid-March due to the wonderful success of the youth basketball program, now serving around 1,400 Mason first- through twelfth-grade boys and girls. Only one court will be available for member use on days and weekends. No courts will be available on Sundays once the games start in December.

Little Hoops Stars Basketball Gymnasium Introduce your youngster to basketball in this well-organized, funoriented, age-appropriate format. Boys and girls are taught the basics of dribbling, passing, shooting, positioning, defense, and rebounding. Then they apply what they've learned in friendly games. All coaching will be conducted by Jump Start Sports staff coaches.

Students will be assigned to play from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. or 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. depending on the number of participants registered and team assignments.
