Rookies
The Rookies swim program is an extension of CRAA Swimming School as it provides swimmers the opportunity to improve the
swimming skills that they have already acquired. Similar to the CRAA Learn-to-Swim program, the Rookies swim program is
offering classes this spring and summer on Monday through Thursday week days with each class lasting 30 minutes. Each session
of the Rookies swim program will last for three weeks, or twelve class days.
