The fourth bridge is over the Sheyenne River near Osgood and is open year-round.

The Fargo Park District works closely with the City of Fargo and the Metropolitan Council of Governments to maintain and improve our trail system.

SWIMMING SWIMMING LESSONS POOLS

Swimming Lesson Overview: Children progress through a series of seven levels designed to teach the fundamentals of swimming and encourage aquatic exploration with guided instruction. In doing so, the Fargo Park District works to ensure a high level of competency is acquired by participants in both aquatic safety and swimming skills.

FP Pre-level (ages 4-5): Participants learn how to be safe around water and begin working on floating, arm and leg movements, and confidence in the water where they can touch.

FP Level 1: Students continue building confidence by learning the basic swimming kicks and arm strokes (whip and flutter kicks and the front and back crawl) with support from floatation devices and the instructor.

FP Level 2: Students focus on practicing the skill sets learned in level one and build the confidence to complete the skills without support from the instructor and/or floatation devices.

FP Level 3: Students begin working on their swimming endurance along with more intermediate swimming skills such as the breaststroke and diving.

SWIMMING LESSONS

Fargo Park District offers swimming lessons during the summer season for ages 4-14. Participants must be 5 years old to begin in level 1. EXCEPTION: If a 4 year old has passed all requirements for Preschool Level, they may register for Level 1.

SPRING INDOOR LESSONS REGISTRATION fee: $59.25 First come, first serve basis until classes are full.
