Family Assistance Fund
Give all Menasha kids a great summer! There are many
Menasha families who simply can’t afford a pool pass or fees for
recreation summer programs. There are two ways you can
make a donation to help these families.
1. When registering online—on the payment screen click on
the Family Assistance Fund donation and add any dollar
amount you wish.
2. By mail or in person—there is a line on the registration
form where you may add any dollar amount you wish to
your payment.
All funds are held in a separate account and will only be used to
assist City of Menasha families.

SWIM LESSONS Our department follows most of the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. We try to offer classes that best meet the needs of the community. In some
cases, we have gone beyond Red Cross guidelines to further enhance your child’s learning experience. Those modifications include:
1. Maximum size of most classes is 8 students.
2. Lesson times for classes are 40 minutes.
3. Level IV is divided into A & B classes because of the quantity and complexity of the skills that must be learned.
