L.A.P.S. program planned at center

SALEM

The Salem Community Center announces another session of the Learning to Accelerate your Potential for Swimming program.

The primary purpose of L.A.P.S. is to bridge the gap between swim lessons and competitive swimming, with an emphasis on promoting wellness and fitness.

The goal is to build aerobic capacity and muscular endurance, improve strokes and enhance fitness while encouraging friendly competition.

There will be multiple eight-week sessions this year. The first will be every Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Jan. 11 through March 1. The cost is $55 for members and $70 for nonmembers.

All new participants will receive a swim cap. Multiple-child discounts are available. For information call the center at 330-332-5885.
