Glen Cove Ferry Terminal and Boat Basin

National Public Health Week is in April, so we are delving into the subject for this month's Walk with a Doc! Join us on Thursday, April 16th at 9:00 am&nbsp;as we learn about the importance of health education and risk reduction from Dr. Barbara Keber, Chair of Family Medicine at Glen Cove Hospital, Northwell Health. Walk with a Doc is a collaboration between Northwell Health and Age-Friendly Glen Cove which aims to disseminate reliable health-related information to the public, make people more comfortable engaging with healthcare professionals and get folks moving. For April, we plan to walk outdoors at Garvies Point Esplanade after meeting at the Ferry Terminal, but in the event of inclement weather, we will take the walk indoors to the Glen Cove Boys and Girls Club at Lincoln House. Local transportation to our walking location is available for members of the Glen Cove Senior Center by inquiring at the Center's front desk.

Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the nationally ranked Long Island Aquatic Club. Our Learn to Swim programs create strong, safe, and confident swimmers for life. With locations in Garden City and Syosset we train over 2,000 children each week at every swim level from Beginner to Olympian. Long Island Swim School offers swim lessons for children ages 2 - 14years old. The main emphasis of our programs is to teach children to swim correctly and develop essential water skills in a relaxed environment. Our goal driven and technique oriented approach is the key to your child's success. Through skill based quality teaching our students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. At Long Island Swim School, we teach children to swim the same way the best in the world do. By using age-appropriate, proven techniques children build real skills in kick, pull, body position, and breath control. Our logical, consistent progression turns every fundamental—whether blowing bubbles or learning butterfly timing—into a building block for efficient, confident swimming. Our professional staff are swimmers and coaches with the knowledge to give your child the skills to achieve more than just water safety. We provide the best foundation possible for success. Not every child will dream of Olympic glory, but every child should have the foundation to take them there.
