The City of Homestead is pleased to announce the launch of a Swimming Lessons Program for Homestead youth, with the first session beginning on February 9, 2026. The program promotes water safety and swim readiness for children and teens in the community.
This initiative is funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, a federal program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that supports services benefiting low-to-moderate income residents.
The two-week program will be held Monday through Thursday, and all participants must commit to attending all scheduled classes for the full two-week session. Classes will be led by certified instructors. Sessions are available for youth ages 3 to 17, with limited space available.
Daily class offerings include:
- 5:15–6:00 PM – Parent & Child Aquatics (Ages 3–5)
- 6:15–7:00 PM – Learn to Swim, Level 1 (Ages 6–17)
Participation is limited to City of Homestead residents who meet low-to-moderate income eligibility requirements. Documentation is required for verification. Participants must commit to attending all classes during the full two-week session.
