Our goal is to provide campers with the skills and confidence in the water to participate and enjoy the experience throughout their lives. This swimming program is conducted in our 3,900 square foot heated, T-shaped pool, designed specifically for Decoma Day Camp. We follow the American Red Cross "Learn to Swim Program" and lessons are taught daily by qualified instructors. Campers will become complete swimmers, gaining confidence, learning strokes, and practicing diving and lifesaving skills. The swimming levels are broken down into small groups, allowing for individual attention and positive reinforcement, with a ratio of approximately three children per swimming instructor. Full Day campers swim twice a day and Shortened Day campers swim once each day. Children bring two bathing suits to camp on Monday and then bring them home on Friday – we provide the towels!
