The program will take place at all four county-owned pools, with registration opening, Wednesday, March 15 at noon, and at a later date to be determined for Willson’s Woods.

Each session is $80 per person for both age groups.
Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said, “I’m excited to expand our Learn to Swim program to older children and adults this summer as water safety is important no matter how old you are.”
