Swim Lessons
The Herbst Pool is a warm-water (90*-93*) with a large shallow area, easy-access three inch steps, and a ramp. The warmer water is more comfortable for small children and helps them learn more effectively than in a cooler pool. These characteristics (in addtional to our warm, freindly staff) make our programs for small children unique in the community.
