The Kennolyn pool is a great place to escape the heat in the summer and learn tons of fun and exciting games at the waterfront! Here campers get to choose either free swim or recieve swim lessons if they need them. At the pool campers can practice their diving, swimming, and even waterpolo under the supervision of three American Red Cross lifegaurds.

Guard Start

Here campers in fifth and sixth grade get hands on basic lifegaurd training. They will learn things like basic CPR, and other important lifegaurding techniques!

SWIMMING :

Our swimming classes are taught by our lifeguards, water safety instructors and water front staff. For the beginner we like to have a maximum ratio of 3:1, intermediate and advanced swimmers may be in slightly larger classes.

Safety and fun are paramount at Kennolyn. Of course we want to help you become a better swimmer, refine your stroke or correct some parts of a stroke however we feel it much more important to be safe in the water and have fun at camp. This isn't swim camp! We work hard but we play hard too! If you can't swim or don't like putting your head underwater, then that's what we look to overcome. If you can put your head underwater or float by the end of a few short lessons then we see that as a HUGE accomplishment to be very proud of.

Beginners can expect to gain more confidence in and around the pool. Exit a pool safely and learn how to attract attention, if nessecary, without panicking .

Intermediate swimmers should expect to swim laps, refine strokes and at least attempt a few laps pf the 4 different strokes.

Advanced swimmers will be taught all 6 strokes and an introduction to diving, turns and helping distressed swimmers.

If you have difficulty deciding what level of swimmer you are, don't worry. Our Waterfront Coordinator oversees a swim test for everyone and will make sure you are in a class you will be comfortable with.
