A Big Splash at the Lions Park Pool!!!

There will be a "big splash" at the Clarendon Hills Park District's Lions Park Pool on Friday, June 24 when swimmers and non-swimmers alike are invited to participate in the World's Largest Swim Lesson at 10 a.m.. On this date, pools and aquatics parks around the world will be hosting complimentary swimming lessons at the exact same time. The purpose of this event, which may gain a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, is to provide water safety tips to children and teens while focusing in on the importance of learning to swim at an early age. While this lesson is free of charge, parents are encouraged to register children and teens ages 3-16 for this event by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21. In person registration is taking place at the Clarendon Hills Park District Community Center, 315 E. Chicago Avenue. Families with an active household account in the Clarendon Hills Park District's Rec Trac system are invited to register on-line at www.clarendonhillsparkdistrict.org. For more information, please call the Clarendon Hills Park District at 630-323-2626.

The Lions Park Pool is located at 100 Byrd Court, in the center of Lions Park. Children unable to attend the upcoming event are encouraged to register for group, private or semi-private swimming lessons which will also be held at the aquatics complex throughout the summer. All of these classes focus in on skill development, water safety, fun and the many aquatics opportunities swimmers can enjoy throughout their lives.
