SWIMMING
The Wayland Baptist University Swim School offers summer lessons for children at the Plainview YMCA's indoor pool. Each of five different sessions features eight lessons over a period of two weeks. Classes meet mornings Monday-Thursday.
Classes, which are limited to four students, are taught by Wayland swimming and diving coach Alyson Hannan. The first priority of all classes is safety and, from this foundation, students learn mastery of all important swimming skills.
Cost is $55 for Y members or $75 for non-members. Sign up at the YMCA, 325 Ennis.
