I am still on a search for a venue for our program. I have had some contact with a couple of different pools, and am hoping that one will work out. I would still like to be able to hold lessons at the Benedict Inn, since it is where we started and it is such a great lessons pool.
Any suggestions? Any preferences?

Where We Teach
We are currently planning on hosting swim lessons at the Benedict Inn Retreat & Conference Center in Beech Grove.
While private lessons will continue to be held there without a problem, we are searching for times when we can have the group lessons. This is why YOUR FEEDBACK is so IMPORTANT!
So let me tell you about the Benedict Inn pool. It is usually used as a therapy pool. There are aerobics & arthritis classes, open adult swim, lap swim only and family swim times.
The family swim times are only on Friday from 6-8pm, and Saturday afternoons from 2-4pm. It can be rented out for parties and swim teams, and even therapy sessions.
This is why it is so difficult to find a good time for out lessons. Over the summer, the YMCA program is held in the gym, and they swim 2 or 3 days each week, & there are two other groups that have the pool reserved with a semi-permanent time.
Anyway, even you do not sign-up for lessons, it is a great place for the family to swim together. Or if you are wanting a workout or need to just get out of the house, it is a wonderful environment.
The water is incredibly warm (thank you therapy!), and the people are very nice. If you are unsure about your swimming technique, try asking the guard - most are or were swimmers in high school, so they know what they are talking about.
Check it out. Maybe you can have a summer style party in the middle of winter!
Do you know of any pools in the area that may be open to hosting group swim lessons?
