SWIMMING SWIMMING LESSONS POOLS

SWIMMING LESSONS Fargo Park District offers swimming lessons during the summer season for ages 4-14. Participants must be 5 years old to begin in level 1. EXCEPTION: If a 4 year old has passed all requirements for Preschool Level, they may register for Level 1.

Swimming Lesson Overview: Children progress through a series of seven levels designed to teach the fundamentals of swimming and encourage aquatic exploration with guided instruction. In doing so, the Fargo Park District works to ensure a high level of competency is acquired by participants in both aquatic safety and swimming skills. FP Pre-level (ages 4-5): Participants learn how to be safe around water and begin working on floating, arm and leg movements, and confidence in the water where they can touch. FP Level 1: Students continue building confidence by learning the basic swimming kicks and arm strokes (whip and flutter kicks and the front and back crawl) with support from floatation devices and the instructor. FP Level 2: Students focus on practicing the skill sets learned in level one and build the confidence to complete the skills without support from the instructor and/or floatation devices. FP Level 3: Students begin working on their swimming endurance along with more intermediate swimming skills such as the breaststroke and diving.

ADOPT-A-PARK

The Fargo Park District invites you to help keep your parks clean by joining our Adopt-A-Park Program. This is a great way for an individual, service club or group to help keep our parks clean along with having your own sense of pride in our community. For more information, please call at 551-5891 or visit FargoParks.com

The Adopt-The-Red program stresses prevention of litter accumulation and rubbish removal by recruiting people to “adopt” reaches of the river. Cleanups remove trash and litter while increasing community pride. For more information, please call 551-5891.

CREATE MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES

Commemorate signiﬁcant people and note-worthy events with a tribute tree or bench within the park system. A tribute bench or tree provides lasting recognition of the signiﬁcant people and occasions in your life while serving as a great enhancement to many people’s quality of life in Fargo.
