Kyle Parks & Recreation
by KERRY URBANOWICZ
With summer right around the corner, what are the kids going to do to keep busy?
One suggestion is the Kyle Parks and Recreation Department’s (PARD) Youth Summer Camp programs. Two separate camps based on school grade, youth and teen, are held for eight 1-week sessions at two local schools. Rates are very reasonable based on the amount of activities scheduled. Please contact the Kyle PARD Office for more details, rates and registration forms. Kyle PARD Youth Camp Director’s office number is 512-262-3937.
Another suggestion is the Kyle PARD Swim Lessons at the Kyle Pool. These lessons are taught using American Red Cross standards by certified Water Safety Instructors. Preschool-age children (about ages 4–5) are taught basic aquatic safety and survival skills. Learn-To-Swim levels 1-4 are designed to help participants (ages 6+) achieve maximum success in the water. Entry into these classes is based on skill level, not age.
Private lessons are available for all ages including adults. Parent-Tot Swim Lessons are designed for children 6 months to 4 years and their parents or guardians. This class will show you how to teach your child the fundamentals of swimming and fun.
And we also have the Kyle Kudas Swim Team. Participants will be given the opportunity to develop techniques and conditioning needed for competitive swimming. As a member of the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation, Kyle provides an arena for competition in TAAF Regional qualifiers with a chance to go on to compete in the TAAF State Swim Meet.
Please contact the Kyle Pool Manager for details, rates and registration forms for the pool programs at 512-262-3938.
