Catch the Wave Swim Cub structures the program to provide much more than just swimming lessons.

Our curriculum, teacher training, evaluation system, and parent communication are all designed to provide a total Aquatic Education. Our primary technique to achieve water safety is to teach all students to comfortably live in the water. When a student truly learns to live in the water, the strokes come easily. We find that when a child enjoys the lessons, the more successful the learning process is. Therefore, our priority is to create a happy atmosphere.

Small class sizes • Professionally trained teachers Consistent, year-round approach • Private swim lessons available Flexible scheduling & make up classes offered

Memorial Tree & Bench

Sponsored by the Oregon Park District, the Memorial Bench and Tree Program allows groups and individuals to donate trees or benches to commemorate special events, honor individuals or agencies, or as memorials to loved ones to be placed in park district parks.

The criteria for tree and bench styles is based on park design, function, aesthetics, and maintenance. There are two benches and ten different trees available for memorials. Costs for the memorial benches and trees vary. Please contact Andy Egyed, Superintendent of Parks, at 815-7323101 or andy@oregonpark.org for ordering information.

The Oregon Park District is happy to comply with the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
