Hermiston Parks & Recreation, Hermiston Kiwanis Club and Arc of Umatilla County will host an iCan Swim program for children and adults with disabilities on Aug. 12-16 at the Hermiston Family Aquatic Center.
The iCan Swim program, created by iCan Shine, focuses on developing and enhancing participants’ swimming skills, with a daily emphasis on life-saving water safety techniques. This five-day camp offers swimmers the chance to attend a 45-minute or 60-minute session each day, tailored to their age and skill level.
Swimmers must be at least 3 years old and have a disability to enroll. Individuals with a tracheostomy are not eligible to participate as the program is unable to guarantee a splash-free environment.
Registration opens June 20 at 10 a.m. and the cost for the week is $50. Everyone in Eastern Oregon and the Mid-Columbia Basin is welcome to register, but space is limited to 30 participants. For information on registration, call the parks department at 541-667-5018.
