FREE Learn-to-Swim Program for Hartford Children
Through the Hartford Learn-to-Swim Program, over 90 Hartford students learn to swim, or improve their swimming ability each year. Developed to teach ALL Hartford second and third graders to swim, this program is free and includes transportation with after-school care, in collaboration with Hartford Parks and Recreation Department.
Program Dates for 2024-2025
Space is limited so we will focus on catching 3rd graders up on their swimming and safety skills!
- Ottauquechee School: Oct 23 – Nov 20
- White River School: Jan 22 – Feb 26 (No Lessons on February 19)
- Dothan Brook School: March 5 – April 2
All lessons are after school on Wednesdays. Bus transportation is provided from school to UVAC. Please send your child with a towel, bathing suit and goggles. Each lesson day includes: swim lesson, free swim, and snack. Pick up is by 4:45 pm at UVAC. Sign out required. Registration is through the Hartford Recreation Department, and flyers do go out to each elementary school in advance of each program!
“For working parents the hours made the program so convenient.”
"When asked in surveys what we could do to improve the experience, many respondents write, “Nothing, my children loved it!”
“The instructors spent extra time with my son who is hard to handle.”
