Annual “Learn to Swim’ Program paddles off July 8

Over the years of its existence, the Annual ‘Learn to swim program’ has afforded thousands of Guyana’s children the opportunity to master a basic life skill. Once again, the nation’s children will have this opportunity when school closes its doors, as the National Sports Commission (NSC) has recently announced the dates for the program.
This year’s July- August program will run from July 8, 2019 to August 16, 2019 at two venues in Georgetown and the East Coast of Demerara.
The program which is hosted twice a year (July- August and Easter), will not only assist students in learning to swim but perfecting their craft and in some instances helping them to get over their fear of bodies of water.
Participants from ages 6 years – 10 years will have their swim lessons at the Colgrain Pool, Camp Street, Georgetown while participants from ages 11 years to 16 years will have their lessons at the National, Aquatic Center, Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara. The sessions are expected to commence at 09:00am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Registration for the ‘Learn to Swim’ program will open next week and interested parents and guardians can uplift forms from the National Sports Commission (NSC) Head Office on Homestretch Avenue, Georgetown.
Registration is priced at $1000 and will open from Monday June 24, 2019 until closure on July 03, 2019.
