Let’s go swimming!

It’s 19 degrees outside. Snow is predicted overnight. Winds are kicking up near 20mph. What’s a Glen Rock parent and child to do? Go swimming!
Huh? You say. The Polar Bear Club may be a choice for the more adventurous folks out there but there’s no way you’re getting me out in any kind of water…you say. The truth is, this is prime time to take your kids in for swimming lessons. Swimming is not only a fun activity but it’s a survival skill. Every child should know how to swim and winter time is the best time to learn. Summertime will be here in no time at all and an extra ounce or two of stress could be removed if you felt comfortable with your child’s ability to navigate the public pool and all those other pool parties.
Yes, there are already a thousand and one extra-curricular activites going on but this one’s important.
The Ridgewood YMCA has swimming lessons. So does the Ramsey New York Sports Club. Where else?
