Haven't been swimming in a while? Come and work on your technique with a coach at Sportspark Pool – twice a week for one hour FOR FREE!

I am so pleased that RIOC and The Marlins have gotten together and are offering twice weekly Adult/Lap/Master swim classes from 7:00PM to 8:00PM at Sportspark Pool!

These coached classes are held every Monday and Friday and will be offered for free with pool admission. In fact, the first couple of weeks Sportspark pool admission will be free of charge for participants!

The classes will run from November thru March of 2010 and your only cost is the normal pool entrance fee of $5. No membership or class fee required.


Adult Lap Swimming (15+ yrs)
Mondays & Fridays 7:00-8:00PM

Please note that these classes are NOT for beginners. The classes require intermediate swimming skills: You should be comfortable using all 4 strokes and able to perform a variety of intense swim drills. But don't be put off, come on in and give it a try and see how much fun it is to be coached to swim properly. (Also, if you're new to swimming be sure to ask The Marlins and RIOC about beginner classes.)

This is a great opportunity for all of you that love swimming. Come and enjoy a healthy fun exercise session and bring a friend!
