According to a recent publication in the Wenatchee World, about half of all children in Chelan and Douglas counties don’t know how to swim. In order to help alleviate this concern at Lake Chelan, the City of Chelan Parks & Recreation Department, in cooperation with the Wenatchee Valley YMCA, will offer swimming lessons for ages 3 through 12 years old this July. This new program being offered by the City of Chelan Parks & Recreation Department must be self-sustaining and will require a registration fee of $30 per child. This registration fee is for the cost of providing instructors, their transportation and licenses, as well as the cost to administer the program. No part of the registration fee is for the use of the City’s facilities.
