3-spring league, Learn to Swim starts next week
There are only a few spots left for Mokihana Aquatic’s Tiny Tots (3- and 4- year olds) class for the Learn to Swim program.
The program is for beginners, babies and toddlers. No advanced classes will be taught because Mokihana Aquatics will be offering a three-spring league at the same time.
Mokihana Aquatics, along with the county of Kaua‘i Parks and Recreation Aquatics Division and the University of Hawai‘i Swimming and Diving team, will conduct the league, which is set for spring break.
The three-spring league means that from Monday to March 29, the three organizations will hold a free, brief league at each of the major pools: Waimea, Kaua‘i and Kapa‘a.
Anyone who is capable of swimming 25 yards by any stroke is eligible to sign up for the league provided he or she is not a member of any organized swim club.
The league, for Kapa‘a and Waimea, will be from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday. For Kaua‘i, it will run from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday through Friday.
Two members of the Hawai‘i swimming and diving club, a boy and a girl, will be at each of the sites to coach the swimmers in the league. The league will conclude on March 29 with a “lollipop” meet where each swimmer will compete for a lollipop. The top-place finisher picks his or her own lollipop, but everyone participating will receive one.
To sign up or for more information on the Learn to Swim or the league, call 821-0587. For more information on the “Learn to Swim” program, visit www.mokihanaaquatics.com
