Beach Club...

Erskine Lakes Beach Club is an organized recreational club that offers activities and swim lessons to children ages 4-16.  This program is offered to all ELPOA members for an additional yearly membership fee.  Beach Club counselors are American Red Cross certified instructors and junior counselors are local teenagers who help the program run successfully throughout the summer. Swim lessons range from water exploration and basic skills for younger children, stroke refinement and endurance skills for children 7-13 and lifeguarding skills for teens (must be 15).
