ZION BENTON TOWNSHIP
HIGH SCHOOL/HORIZON POOL
COMMUNITY SWIM/AQUATICS
WELCOME PARENTS:
This begins our 17th year of serving the Zion, Winthrop Harbor, and Beach Park communities in which ZBTHS District 126 plays a vital role in teaching your child to swim and offers you a varied program in aquatics. Also, we welcome surrounding communities who choose us for our quality Learn to Swim school.
Learning to swim and water safety is an important Life Skill to pass on to your children, so that they can be safe and also enjoy a lifetime activity of swimming for fitness and pleasure.
Most of our adult staff members are graduates of ZBTHS and like our current high school students who teach, were trained at ZBTHS as Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards using 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.
