Private Swim Lessons
Aquatics

Individual and small group private lessons available. Individual lessons are one-on-one instruction for those who desire individual instruction, or who just need to “catch up” their skills in order to join a standard class. Small group lessons are a small group (2 - 3 students) that you create, Community Education does not create small groups. Small group lessons are perfect for friends or siblings that are around the same swimming level. Classes are adapted and modified for each individual or small group. Each lesson is 30 minutes long. Each lesson will have its own section. You can sign up for as many or as few lessons as you would like. Please make sure to select the type of lesson (individual or small group) at checkout. Email tdupon1@isd77.org with any questions. Aquatic programs are located at the Mankato East High School Pool. Please park in the far east parking lot, next to Thomas Park, and enter the building through Door 9, located on the northeast side of the building.

Archery is fun way for students to try something new! Our program provides the curriculum and equipment to teach the basics of using a compound bow. Classes are taught by a certified archery instructor and provide a safe and fun introduction to the sport of archery. Commands, signals, techniques and shooting challenges are all part of the program. Learn about equipment and participate in a low-pressure and supportive environment. All equipment is provided. The Intermediate course requires completion of the Beginner course. Teens now have the opportunity to become involved in something new and explore the world of target shooting! Participation within an archery program has been shown to increase student concentration, positive behavior, motivation and focus!
