Hargrave works closely with the
American Red Cross (ARC) supporting programs for both our Cadets and
local community alike. A number of programs are offered, which provide
numerous opportunities for both individuals and families.
Learn To Swim
Beginning in early May, and continuing
through July, Hargrave conducts an ARC Learn to Swim
program.
The cost is $50.00 per session. Each
session consists of eight 25-minute lessons, taught Monday through
Thursday for two consecutive weeks.
Our Learn to Swim
classes are available both in the morning and evening.
The ARC Learn to Swim
program consists of seven skill levels. Hargrave conducts classes in
Levels I-V. Those that complete Level V, and want to continue learning,
are encouraged to join our competitive swimming program, Hargrave
Aquatics.
