Swim Program
Springfield School District is one of the few districts in the area who has a well developed
swim program as part of their physical education curriculum. Students have swimming in 2nd through
8th grade as part of their regularly scheduled gym class. The program is designed to encourage
independence in the water. Generally, students who start with us in the 2nd grade are "water-safe"
by 5th grade. In addition to stroke instruction, students play water games and learn about water
safety.
