We've reserved the seaside park swimming pool and the city's elementary school pools for a five-day program from 10 AM to 12 PM. The program not only teaches swimming skills but also instills the joy of water and provides a safety lesson called "Float and Wait" to protect yourself from water accidents. The course fee is ¥4,000 (including accident insurance), and each venue is limited to the first 40 applicants. Applications are accepted through our website.

In recent years, some venues have reached full capacity on the first day of registration, demonstrating the program's immense popularity. More detailed information will be posted on the website around June.
