Swimming Lessons!

Thanks to Bellabbr for suggesting swim lessons! I took my then 2 year old son to swim lessons when we were at Fort Benning, and he loved it! I don't think we'll be tackling that this summer, since I think it would be a bit much with my 6 month old in one arm. However, here's some info for you all:

YMCA (thanks Bellabbr!)

Fayetteville YMCA
2717 Fort Bragg Road
Fayetteville, NC 28303
Telephone: 910-323-0800

Its $60 for 8 classes if you are not a member and $30 if you are (membership for the family is $59 a month). They have classes M&W, T&Thur and Sat mornings. Their website also provides some very detailed info: http://www.fayettevilleymca.org/Fayetteville_YMCA/Fayetteville_YMCA%3A_Aquatics.html

Fort Bragg/Pope AFB YMCA
208 Thorncliff Dr
Fayetteville, NC 28303

After raking their website, I don't think this Y provides swim lessons. I kept it on the list, b/c they do seem to have a lot of other kid's programs. Here's their website: http://www.braggasymca.org/index.htm

Hope Mills YMCA
3910D
Hope Mills, NC 28348
Telephone: 910-426-9622
Telephone: 910-436-0500

I thought it was interesting that you can just get a pool membership at the Y if you're not interested in the other services they provide.

On post through CYS: The CYS website says to call the Community Recreation Division at 643-8533.

HealthPlex of Cape Fear Valley Health System
1930 Skibo Road, Fayetteville, NC
There appear to be a variety of lessons offered here (for different ages). The prices vary depending on whether you are a member or not.

The Sports Center (Thanks Rae Anne for the info!)
5951 Cliffdale Rd.
Fayetteville, NC 28314
(910) 864-3303
http://www.sportscenterfnc.com/swimming.html
Cost: Member $50
Non-member $65
According to their website, they have swim lesson schedules available at their front desk. I like that it appears they have swim lessons for 3 year olds that are NOT parent/tot, so maybe I'd just have to sit and watch (with my 6 month old).

If anyone knows of any other places for swim lesson, let me know and I'll post it! :o)

Also, thank you to all of you who have contributed to this blog so far!
