Parent & Child Swim 2+yrs
Level 6: Swimming and Skill Proficiency
Parents and children learn together to increase their child’s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills, such as getting their face wet in the pool, blowing bubbles, front and back floats and glides. This level is fun-filled to help introduce water safety concepts and encourage a healthy recreational habit. One adult per child is required.
Level 6 swimmers will practice their front crawl and elementary backstroke for 50 yards, backstroke for 25 yards and butterfly for 15 yards. Participants will continue to strengthen their frog and scissor kicks. Open turns are introduced and deep water skills are refined.
Level 1: Little Beginners
Level 7/8 helps swimmers refine their strokes and skills so they can swim with ease, efficiency and power over greater distances and will be introduced to what to expect in competitive swimming. Swimmers will learn how to do starts and use equipment commonly used on swim teams such as paddles and pull buoys.
Level 1 introduces first-time swimmers to the pool and helps them gain basic aquatic skills that are the foundation for later levels. Front and back floats, blowing bubbles and leg and arm actions are introduced.
Level 2: Introduction of Water Skills
Level 7/8: Intro to Competitive Swimming
Level 2 teaches basic personal water safety skills to help children feel comfortable in the water while improving elementary aquatic skills such as bobbing in the water, front and back glides and combined arm and leg action with assistance.
Level 3: Fundamental Aquatic Skills Level 3 leads participants to success through fundamental skills such as floating and recovering to a vertical position. Participants will continue to increase their independence with treading and swimming on their front and back.
Level 4: Stroke Development Level 4 will teach swimmers front crawl with rotary breathing and elementary backstroke the width of the pool. They will be introduced to deep water entries and simple dives, while continuing to improve their deep water treading skills.

Become a Volunteer Coach with the WAWM RCS Department! Have you ever wanted to coach a sport and make a lasting impact on young athletes? Now’s your chance! Volunteering as a coach is a rewarding way to build connections, mentor and inspire the next generation of players. The WAWM RCS Department is here to support you every step of the way! Each league is led by a League Director — an experienced staff member who ensures all players have a positive and consistent experience. The League Director assists volunteer coaches by handling practice planning, allowing you to focus on player development, teamwork and providing every athlete with fair opportunities to learn and grow. During practices, you’ll focus on fostering player growth while the League Director takes care of logistics. On game days, you’ll manage player substitutions, assign positions and ensure a fun, engaging atmosphere where everyone can thrive. The time commitment is once a week for an hour for 4K–1st grade leagues, and twice a week for an hour for 2nd–8th grade leagues.
BE THE COACH WHO MAKES A DIFFERENCE! If you’re passionate about shaping young lives through sports, let us know when you register! All volunteer coaches will undergo a confidential background check.

All participants must register with their attendance area school. All student-athletes will need a physical on file before participating in either the first day of tryouts or the first practice. If tryouts are required, participation fees will be due after the teams are announced. • For 7th-8th Grade girls and boys basketball and 7th-8th Grade girls volleyball ONLY, Frank Lloyd Wright Intermediate and West Milwaukee Intermediate will compete in the Jr. Parkland Conference. • For 6th Grade girls basketball, 6th Grade boys basketball, and 6th Grade girls volleyball, student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the WAWM RCS Department Leagues.

WAWM Youth Presents Seussical KIDS Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

While participants spend the evening at the Recreation Center engaging in fun activities with our Adaptive Recreation staff, families are invited to connect, relax and build community with others who understand their journey. This night is designed to support families, strengthen relationships and celebrate the community that surrounds them. This event gives parents and caregivers of individuals with disabilities the chance to enjoy a shared outing together. Families/caregivers may drop off their participants beginning at 5:30pm at the Recreation Center. Caregivers will then meet the WAWM RCS Department Staff at Ope! Brewing Co. We will provide light snacks and a table for us to meet at. Participants will remain at the Recreation Center and will have the opportunity to participate in games, crafts, gym time and will also have a light dinner. Code

Did you know that the voice activated feature called Siri on your iPhone can call 911 without you touching it? Siri can also be used to turn on your flashlight, open your magnifier (which I bet you didn’t know you already have on your phone), and set an alarm without you touching your iPhone. In this class, you will learn how to do these things using Siri as well as how to stay connected by sending a text message, making a call, getting directions and searching the internet the “easy way” with just your voice.
Join us for some friendly competition, exercise and great camaraderie in our Cornhole League, exclusively for adults ages 55 and older. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to the game, our league offers a relaxed, social atmosphere with weekly matches, an opportunity to stay active and have fun doing it!

Christina Jerine I’m Christina, a passionate Zumba instructor, dancer, choreographer and vocalist who loves inspiring people through music and movement. I’ve been choreographing for almost a decade and began my journey as a Zumba instructor in 2025. My classes are a vibrant mix of energy, rhythm, and culture – I love blending multilingual music that spans pop, reggae, Bollywood, Arabic and Latin beats. Whether I’m dancing, choreographing or singing, I believe in creating an experience that celebrates joy, expression and community.
Nicole DeBack I have been teaching Zumba, Strength and Conditioning and many other fitness classes for many years. I love to be around people and seeing the smiles on their faces as they are helping make a healthy difference in their life. I hope you come out and try one of my classes!
Jennifer Jaeckel I am Jennifer Jaeckel, better known as, “Jazy Jen,” who is an energized fitness professional with the goal to put the FUN in FITNESS. My mantra is simple but powerful: MUSIC and MOVEMENT = SMILES!
Perfect for everybody and every body! Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat it out. We take the “work” out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Super fun? Check and check. A total workout, combining elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy and a serious dose of awesome each time you leave class. No class 7/3.
