This class will focus on teaching your child to swim, independently, even for a short time, by the end of 6 weeks.

This class is for the child that can already swim 15 yards but still needs to work on learning other strokes and building endurance.

The Whitewater Trail Challenge follows the Ice Age Trail -- a 1,200 mile footpath that traverses Wisconsin and is designed to showcase the lasting impact of ice age glaciers on the landscape of the state. One of only eleven National Scenic Trails, it is an iconic route covering vast and diverse natural areas, and is a longstanding magnet for hikers and runners. The trails vary from smooth and well-maintained to extremely technical, and because the route is a patchwork of connected segments, the footing can change quickly! The Spartan Whitewater trail challenge course covers a small but scenic portion of the trail – an out and back from Rice Lake near the town of Whitewater – but with this taste of what the Ice Age Trail has to offer our racers will be tempted to keep exploring!
