Our swim test is designed to check the swimming abilities of children. Based on this test, children receive a colored band that signifies their swimming ability. Bands are required for swimmers ages 5 to 11 years old.
The West Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department strives to help everyone learn to swim and be safe around water Teaching water safety is important to us which is why we offer high quality swim lessons at affordable prices We can help anyone aged six months and older learn to swim with the choice of group or private lessons
