Beach ClubBeach Club is a wonderful opportunity for children to make friends and enjoy the beautiful costal area we are blessed to live in. Participants get lots of exercise and have fun in the water, sand, and sun; a perfect combination of what we all need now more then ever! There is never a dull moment as we swim, fish, clam, kayak, and paddleboard. Participants should be strong swimmers having the ability to swim 25 yards without any floatation, be comfortable in open water, as well as treading and swimming in deep water. Participants will need to bring their energy and endurance as it is a very physical program.
