New Offerings Fall of 2020!!
We just received approval to offer two new WAMS classes for EWU students: Learn to Swim 1 and Learn to Swim 2 (LTS-1, LTS-2). LTS-1 is for beginners who need to get comfortable in the water and learn to be safe in deep water. It will cover Red Cross LTS levels 1-3 approximately. LTS-2 is titled "Learn to Swim Better" and is for students who can swim some, but have remedial skills and need to learn how to swim properly. This class will cover Red Cross levels 4-6 approximately. LTS-2 is a 2-credit class, with 3 written assignments required to obtain the second credit. These courses are open to all EWU students; and will be offered FWS quarters.
