Carmel Swim Club Breaking Ground on New Pool this Spring
The Carmel Swim Club (CSC) will break ground on a new facility, the Carmel Swim Academy this spring. Located in the heart of Carmel, adjacent to the existing Carmel Total Fitness gym, the new pool will provide critical space to expand Carmel Swim Club’s non-competitive programs in an effort to more fully live out the organization’s mission, “teaching excellence through swimming, for life.” Carmel Swim Academy will have a six-lane, 25-yard pool, and will include an adjacent zero-entry area for easy access and optimum instruction for the youngest swimmers. Carmel Swim Academy will provide space for CSC’s existing group swimming lesson program to expand, as well as offer new community programs, including adaptive and inclusive swim lessons, classes for infants and parents, lap swimming, and fitness classes for adults.
Benefits of Year-Round Swimming Lessons
While many people associate swim lessons with warm weather and outdoor pools, Carmel Swim Academy provides programming all year! Your child can benefit greatly from year-round participation in swimming lessons. Read on for details and more information about how to register for our next session of lessons, running February 1-27.
