Pool Programming

Talbot County Parks and Recreation will offer a variety of aquatics programming throughout the summer season, including SOS Learn to Swim, youth swim lessons, junior lifeguard training, and adult swim lessons. Through the support of SOS Sink or Swim, thousands of children and adults across the region have received free swim instruction and water safety education.
