SWIMMING CLASSES
“I had not been in a pool since the age of fourteen, and I am now in my fifties, but I really love my Fear No More swim classes at Medgar Evers College. The class is fun, the instructors are great and patient, and they motivate me to become a better swimmer.” - Michella Haliburton

Join us on Friday, June 14 from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. for our Adult Learn to Swim OPEN HOUSE. The Open House will be held at the pool, located 1150 Carroll Street, Brooklyn NY 11225 (btwn.

RSVP to ace.info@mec.cuny.edu if you plan to attend. We look forward to meeting you!
What do I have to bring for swim testing?
A bathing suit with lining is needed for both women and men. Unlined suits are subject to faster erosion from chlorine. Men’s bathing suits must have a mesh lining. No underwear under bathing suits is permitted, as this is unsanitary. If you plan to lock belongings in a locker, you must bring your own lock. Please Note: You must take your lock with you at the conclusion of the open house. You must also bring a towel, swim cap and goggles. Flip-flops are optional – there are no non-slip pads in the pool area. No outside shoes are allowed on deck.
