If your child has been enrolled in SwimAmerica lessons level 7 or above and would like to try a swim club, this would be an option. This is if they are interested in being in a team-like atmosphere rather than swim lessons, we do swim-like races as our practices. If your child is still learning the strokes then they should remain in swim lessons. Swim Club will be defining techniques and building endurance.

By Tracy Wells Grades 4-6. A group of villains—including the Evil Queen, Wicked Stepmother, and the Big Bad Wolf—and some familiar faces with dubious morals— like Little Red Riding Hood and Pinocchio—are locked in a mansion on a dark and stormy night. Their only means of escape is helping Prince Charming figure out the name of a mischievous imp who has his eyes set on a gasp-inducing treasure. As they begin to unravel the mystery before the midnight deadline, the storm knocks out the power in the mansion, and in a twist, some of the guests get knocked out, too. Will anyone be left to crack the riddle of the imp’s name and escape? Or will a parade of surprise guests only make matters worse as even more beloved characters become victims to the unknown assailant? Come experience the stage -acting, blocking, makeup, props, lights, set building and more as you produce your own play as a team of TCU drama students! *Please note not everyone has to be an on-stage performer - there are jobs for lighting, sound and backstage tech!

Are you finding that no matter how well you watch what you eat or how much you exercise, weight is not budging? Your inability to lose weight probably has more to do with hormone levels than anything else. Until imbalances are corrected, trying to lose weight will be like shoveling sand against the tide. We’ll discuss which hormones are involved and what can be done to correct imbalances; concrete solutions for controlling appetite and cravings; major sources of hormone mimicking chemicals and how to get rid of them; what HRT or birth control pills have to do with weight gain; how to have your hormone levels checked reliably; what steps need to be taken to safely break the vicious cycle of hormone related weight gain. A Zoom link will be sent a day or two prior to class.
