Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District has been chosen for a fifth straight year as one of 35 adult programs from the USA Swimming Foundation’s nationwide network of swim lesson providers to receive grant funding for 2023.  This grant funding will allow the district, in cooperation with the Columbia Gorge Masters Swim Team, to offer four free swim lessons during the month of August to any interested adult 18 years of age and older.  Adult swimmers of all ability levels are welcome to participate in the program – from the complete beginner to the more advanced swimmer.  The teaching will be tailored to the student’s comfort and ability level with a low teacher to student ratio.  Four class sessions will be offered, the first two Tuesdays and Thursdays in August from 6 p.m. to 7 pm. at the Hood River Aquatic Center.  Pre-registration is required, either in person at the aquatic center, or by calling 541-386-1303.
