Shawnee State University is now offering swim lessons to the public. Kenzie Pennington, head coach of the SSU men’s and women’s swim teams, and several of her collegiate swimmers will lead group lessons three times a week and private lessons as scheduled in the Warsaw Aquatic Center on SSU’s campus.
Pennington hopes that this community outreach will help teach water safety and life skills. Her coaching staff’s mission “is to provide the next generation of swimmers with water safety knowledge, the value of hard work and enjoyment of the water.”
The group lessons will be offered in four-week sessions from 6-7 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at a rate of $100 for non-Shawnee Athletic Center members and $75 for members.
Private lessons can be planned between the athlete and the coach, allowing for flexible scheduling for the athletes. The price of a private lesson is based on the length of the lesson. A 30-minute lesson costs $30, while the price is $55 for an hour-long session.
