The school break is getting closer and a good option for the little ones is to learn to swim during that week.
For this reason, the New York Parks Department will teach swimming classes during the winter break from February 19 to 23 at several public pools.
Registration is open for classes and will close on February 15.
They are open to all minors between 6 and 17 years old.
Classes will be given at different times, so you should select the one that best suits you.
The centers where these sessions will take place are the Asser Levy and Gertrude Ederle Pool in Manhattan; the St. John’s and Metropolitan pools in Brooklyn and Roy Wilkins and Flushing Meadows in Queens.
