{Welcome to ZB Aquatics}

WELCOME PARENTS:

This begins our 20th year of serving the Zion, Winthrop Harbor, and Beach Park communities in which Z.B.T.H.S. District 126 plays a vital role in teaching children to swim. We offer a varied program in aquatics. We welcome surrounding communities who choose us for our quality Learn to Swim Classes.

Learning to swim and water safety are important life skills to pass on to every one young and old. Our focus is to be safe and also enjoy a lifetime of swimming for fitness and pleasure.

Most of our adult staff members are graduates of Z.B.T.H.S. and like our current high school students who teach; were trained at Z.B.T.H.S. as Water Safety Instructors. Most of them are also trained as Lifeguards. We use the American Red Cross methods of instruction and certification.

We choose to run a program that has small class sizes, accommodates all children, and is fun. Offering classes for the Fall, Winter, and Spring, so that your child can learn new skills as they progress in ability.

However, we have found it necessary, with increasing popularity, to set some new ground rules for Zion residents and Non-residents, to make it fair for our supporting taxpayers.
