1 . Group Swim Lessons
We do not have swimming pools of our own. We teach swim lessons at home and community pools. If you have a pool, we will meet you there and provide you with great swim lessons!
Group swim lessons are lower-cost lessons than private swim lessons. We provide the child with the same great swim instructors and a chance to learn with their friends! Group swim lessons are great for a group of friends around the same age and level as each other. This is because they push each other to be better. If a child is afraid of the water but sees a friend eager for the swim lesson, they tend to take it a little easy and want to try new things.
Group swim lessons are only for kids that are comfortable enough in the water. Kids that are crying, pushing away, or running out of the pool need to have a one-on-one swim lesson.
Here’s How Group Swim Lessons Work
1. Call (888) 617-1234 or email your name, basic swimmer information, and what days and times work for you to info@ swim.com.
2. After we get your swimmer information, we will see which of our swim instructors' schedules fit with your swim lesson availability and then call you back to confirm your first swim lesson!
3. Your swim instructor will bring all the equipment needed in your swim lessons. They will come on the reoccurring days scheduled to get the swimmers to where they need to be.

2 . Some unique bookstores continue booming (繁荣) across the globe. For travelers, they pack in plenty of beauty, strange character, and local history within their walls.
Shakespeare & Co., Paris, French
Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and their literary contemporaries famously hung out at this bookstore overlooking the Seine. Shakespeare & Co. attracts countless tourists and foreigners. Writers can even stay here for a few days or weeks, in exchange for a couple of hours’ worth of work around the shop. The celebrated bookstore hosts book readings, writers' meetings, and Sunday tea.
Power House Arena, Brooklyn, America
Power House Arena opened in DUMBO in 2006 and bills itself as a “laboratory for creative thought”. The industrial, modern space is dedicated not only to books, but also to hosting a variety of events—readings, book launch parties, temporary art exhibits and conversations with contemporary literary voices in its amphitheater-style (圆形剧场风格) seating space with soaring 24-foot ceilings. Children’s literature fill the shelves.
Libreria Acqua Alta, Venice, Italy
This bookstore features classic volumes of American and Italian books packed in traditional Venetian boats. But the show-stopping attraction is the back of the bookstore, which opens up to a beautiful canal. The bookstore is also famous for its wide-ranging art and postcard collections.
Barter Books, Alnwick, England
Housed in an old railway station, Barter Books has a pleasant living room atmosphere, thanks to carpets, crackling fireplaces in the winter, toys for kids, a model railway acting as a link between the book columns of the central room, and comfortable seats among a vast selection of second-hand books on a variety of subjects.

About it
In 1983, Simon’s Rock of Bard College began offering a three-week writing workshop for high school students. It is now part of the National Writing and Thinking Network, the largest association of summer writing programs and camps in the country. Former participants have gone on to colleges like Amherst, Harvard, Kenyon, Princeton and Yale.
About its staff
The staff are skilled teachers and writers with a special interest in the theory and practice of the nationally recognized Bard College Institute for Writing and Thinking. They are selected for the Simon’s Rock workshop camp because of their record of teaching excellence and their familiarity with the needs and abilities of younger writers.
About its features
Unlike conventional workshops in creative writing, it focuses on using informal, playful and expressive writing as a way to strengthen skills of language and thinking. Out of these informal writing activities, using techniques of peer response, students develop more polished pieces, ranging from personal descriptions to stories and poems. Each weekday consists of three ninety-minute sessions organized as writing and discussion seminars. Workshop leaders write with their students, and there is frequent sharing of this informal writing, both in small groups and in the class as a whole.
