Area Red Cross Aquatics Programs

Hot summer days can be unbearable, but there are ways to find relief. One popular refuge is, of course, the swimming pool! We have an entire week of high temperatures coming our way, and what better way to spend it than by hanging out poolside or at the lake.

For those of you looking for swimming lessons, the American Red Cross offers a variety of aquatic programs including Learn-to-Swim courses and lifeguarding. Here is a list of authorized providers in the Louisville region.
