Swimming is a great lifelong hobby that not only helps with your cardiovascular health but could also save your life. If you are new to this sport swim lessons are a great way to build up your stamina, learn the different strokes, and most importantly get comfortable in the water. The CRC offers private, semi-private, and small-group lessons to fit any need and skill level. For those who are already swimmers, the CRC boasts two world-class facilities for both competitive and leisure play. You can swim in the 1996 Olympic facility at the McAuley Aquatic Center or race down a slide in the Crawford pool. No matter your style the CRC has a pool for you.
