EDIT: None of the classes with anyone signed up in them are being changed. The only classes that are changed are the level 4 and level 5 that were going to run Monday to Friday. The level 4 and 5 on Sundays will not be changed.
Charke Swim has a lot more lessons! I have arranged for lesson space at 3255 Stephenson Point Rd. This used to be a Gym which has a pool and is being renovated for a new user. As the pool isn't being renovated, I've been allowed access immediately.
I'm offering Red Cross Swim Kids Level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, These are Monday to Friday classes (10 sessions) running between 4pm and 7pm. I've posted classes through October. You can register for these classes on the website immediately. Oct 3-14 2022 RC1 4:00-4:30PM M-F (Ages 5+) RC2 4:30-5:00PM M-F (Ages 5+, must swim 5m)

RC1 5:00-5:30 PM M-F (Ages 5+)

RC5 6:15-7:00 PM M-F (Ages 5+, must swim 25m, tread 45 seconds) I've had a lot of requests for smaller, private classes for students with various difficulties. While I am not offering 1-on-1 lessons, the classes are limited to 7 students each. The facility is private so there won't be anyone else besides the parents present (and possibly construction staff outside of the pool area). I've had years of experience teaching students with various learning difficulties. Class Requests I haven't setup November yet and, if there are enough requests for a class, I would be happy to change this schedule to accommodate if any classes are still empty. Please contact me (Mark Charke) at MCharke@aol.com if there is a class you want that is full or not listed here. www.Charkeswim.com

I received my pool rental space today so I've made the fall Schedule. It wasn't as much space as I wanted but if any programs cancel there might be a chance of getting more space. If that happens I'll post about it in the news letter. I remain available for lessons at private pools. For September NAC is closed and I am running a 4 session Swim Basics 1 (adult/teen) class at Beban Park Pool on Saturday mornings. Starting in October I'll be offering RC 4 and RC 5 as well as Swim Basics 1 and 2 at Nanaimo Aquatic Center on Sundays in the afternoon. The Fall classes are listed below. Registration will start this evening. Thank you everyone for the interest. Mark Charke Charkeswim September 2022
