Keep Swimming, Even When It's Cold Outside, at Troy Community Center

Many in Troy make a splash every summer at the Family Aquatic Center. However, opportunities abound for those who wish to keep all the benefits of swimming while remaining inside during the winter, thanks to the Troy Community Center.

Swim lessons at the Community Center

Session 1 and 8-week session swim lessons are underway. However, session 2 and 3, and 7-week sessions start the first week of November. See pages 35 to 39 of the Fall Troy Today for offerings.

Private swim lessons

If you want swim lessons with one-on-one attention at your time preference and with a certain instructor, then private swim lessons may be what you're looking for. See page 33 of the Fall Troy Today for pricing. Call 248-619-7270 to schedule.

Infant Swimming Resource (6 months to 6 years)

Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) lesson experience is a comprehensive 4-6 week program where each lesson is customized for the child.  ISR integrates swimming skills that are developmentally appropriate for young children, teaching them to save their own lives, while building confidence that can lead to a lifetime of water fun. 

Babies 6-12 months learn to hold their breath under water, turn onto their backs and float unassisted.  Children over 1 year old are taught the swim-float-swim sequence: hold their breath underwater, swim with their head down, roll onto their back to rest and breathe and flip over to continue swimming until they reach safety. 

For more information and to schedule a lesson, contact Anna Anderson at 248-431-8534, a.anderson@infantswim.com or infantswim.com.
