Sandwich Parks and Recreation has a long standing tradition of serving the citizens of Sandwich and providing activities for all ages.  With youth sports, musical events, beaches, and several parks to be enjoyed Sandwich offers quite a lot for a small New England town.  We utilize and add to the existing natural beauty of our town through events, programs, and facilities.

The Parks and Recreation Department is always looking to engage the public with activity opportunities. If you have ever had the desire to participate in a program as a leader or just in a complimentary role we can find a place for you.  Do you have a suggestion for a new program or event? Please email sandwichrecreation@gmail.com or call 284-6473.

Let us know what you would like to see and we will do our best to make it a reality.  Remember, volunteers are ALWAY needed!

 Swim Lesson Information

Lessons will run 6/26 – 7/26

        Sandwich Parks and Recreation will be offering swim lessons again this summer. This year our lessons will be taught by lifeguard, Sam Seeley. This will be Sam’s second season as a swim instructor.  Sam is an experienced lifeguard and capable swimmer.  Sam will be assisted by one of our other lifeguards for larger classes.  Our other lifeguards this season will be Ethan Floyd, Alyssa Floyd, and Aidan Carney.

          The lesson schedule may change in order accommodate the most families while still delivering quality lessons to all the participants.  We will start by structuring our lessons as a three-days-a-week program, but we may modify this to a two-days-a-week program if registration numbers exceed a safe and acceptable class size.  Splitting the lessons this way will increase the individualized attention your swimmer will receive.  It may also be necessary to limit class size, so please register early to secure your place.

There is no fee for the swim lessons this season. 

All classes will start Tuesday - Thursday at these times:
MINNOWS     (4+5) …….. 9:45 - 10:20  Level I
(must be 4yrs old by Oct. 1 2018)
GUPPIES         (6+7)……...10:30 -11:05   Level 2
FISH                (8+9)….…11:15 - 11:55  Level 3
SHARKS       (10-13)..…..…. 9:00 - 9:40 Level 4

While we use age at the start of our program, ability and experience may require participants to be moved to a more appropriate class.  We will evaluate your child closely and recommend/require any appropriate changes to their placement.   

I ask that you indicate on the registration form a preference for
Monday + Wednesday lessons
or
Tuesday and Thursday lessons
Should it become necessary to utilize our twice a week format.
