A youngster's first dip can be anxiety-provoking for both parent and child,
so the folks at Asphalt Green let the older generation into the pool, too.
Easing the introduction is a special "warm-water pool," kept at a soothing
90 degrees, with a mechanical bottom that adjusts to offer the most
comfortable depth, from a couple of inches to seven feet. While group
lessons, which cost $18 per half-hour, are kept intimate with a
swimmer-to-instructor ratio as low as five-to-one, private lessons are
available for $40 per half-hour.
