Today's the deadline.
Has anyone responded or are Wrightwood kids going
another year without swim lessons? :'( :'(
-
Is there a training program in the Wrightwood area for those who are interested? My 17 year old is interested, and has a great personality for it.
-
The only lifeguard training class I found does not offer the Water Safety Instructor certification. Plus, I called the Parks and Rec from the above post and they said you have to already have all that documentation and certification to apply.

Hey Folks,
My son is planning on taking the American Red Cross Certified Lifeguard course April 9-13 out at Edwards AFB through the Oasis Aquatic Center since they also need lifeguards for their pool over the summer. He wants to work as a lifeguard at the Methodist Camp this summer and will be 16yrs in May, just in time.
If you want to call them at 661-275-2267 to see about signing-up, they are taking down info and will let us know how much it will be as soon as it is finalized; approx $75. Its about an hour drive and I may be willing to help carpool.

Where do these swimming lessons take place?
-
Wrightwood Methodist Church Camp if they find lifeguards.
-
Perhaps the American Red Cross will schedule a class where the nearest indoor pool is - Phelan perhaps?
-
When and how do we confirm that the Methodist Church Camp WILL have swim lessons?
I know my son took lessons several years ago there and the lessons were terrific....but do they have it every summer and I have missed them?????
-
Does anyone know if they found lifeguards? Are there going to be swim lessons? And how do we get info for them?
-
I sure would like to know as well ! Anybody know???? ???
-
My daughter has a few more Sundays of lessons to be a lifeguard and will be working at the Country Club. I don't know where the other students will be working, but the class has been going on for a couple of months now.
-
I wrote to the Parks & Rec guy a few weeks back. Here's what he said:
We received one app for WSI and one for lifeguard. My prospect for WSI decided last week he did not want to work the summer so I'm back to square one. However, the manager @ the Methodist camp has a WSI prospect so we may have it covered.
-
Any update on this topic? Did the Methodist Camp get a life guard?
-
Yes the program is supposed to proceed!
-
OOH! where do we sign up??
-
oh, oh is right
Who, what, when & where can we get info? Anyone have the camp # handy?
-
(760) 249-3453
-
The camp doesn't have any info and is only letting Parks & Recreation use the pool.
Any additional info call 249-3205 ask for Ivett (sp?).
I have tried several times calling that number today and no answer. Will post my findings when I get through for ya all.
-
Yevette (sp?) is on vacation this week.
I'll contact the Parks & Rec guy from the county.
-
Thank you very much!!!!
-
Here's what I was I found out:
See the ad in tomorrow's paper. I don't have particulars other
than sign-ups in mid-June at the old Fire Station and to start on 7/2.
Yvette will be back first of next week.
-
Thanks so much Wrightwood...great news!
-
Hmmmm, wonder if swimming lessons at the camp are cancelled today? Yvette at fire station is not in until 12:30 and there is no answer at the camp yet. I will post something if I find out....
-
No lessons today, but they may continue the rest of the week in the rain if there is no lightning. Camp phone: 249-3453
-
I know last year the Methodist Camp did swim lessons. Does anyone know if they will have them again this year? How do we sign up? When do they typically start? Thanks for any info!
-
Call the fire station? They handled it last year. ;)
-
Yes snwbnny the program is scheduled for this year.
Call the Fire Station at (760) 249-3206 during working hours.
Ask for Yvette.

If the Methodist camp is not holding swim lessons... my kids have taken lessons at Cal State San Bernardino. It is a very good program with an excellent, caring staff. My youngest will be taking lessons there again this year.
-
I was thinking of going the Cal State route as well. However, with the gas prices, I would want to have a carpool situation in place.

Anyone who used the p&r lessons at the camp last year -- was it a good program? The one we took through Victorville last year was not that great and my kids are still scared of the water. Just wondering if this one is worth it or not. I don't really want to have to drive down the hill.
-
The program at the camp last summer was great! I understand the gal that taught the classes last year left the area. She was good with the kids. I would HIGHLY recommend it if it is taught this year.
The best part was the family "free swim" on Fridays!
-
My son has gone to the swim lessons at camp last year and one time prior. The are terrific lessons and I highly recommend. Note, lesson are not always provided so inquire with them to see if they will have them this summer or not.
My son has also had swim lessons at the Country Club...but I don't recommend for the younger kids... because the water is just to cold and all they want to do is get out! Plus, I just feel it's better to learn in a pool than a lake starting out.
-
Has anyone else gotten any info on if they are doing the lessons this year? I tried calling a couple times and Yvette was not there. I spoke to someone else and she didn't think they were. She was supposed to have Yvette call me back but I never did hear anything.
-
There are swim lessons at the Country Club
-
Yah, my 5 year old won't get into a lake to swim. He's nervous about swimming as it is - not seeing the bottom won't help. Besides, we're not members. Thanks though.
