Before man conquered his fear of water, he amused himself with dust sports such as pushing boulders off cliffs, wrestling tumbleweeds, and falling in the dust. Celebrate the moisturizing benefits of fear-conquering with today's Groupon: for $40, you get two semi-private swim lessons for children ages four and up at Take Me to the Water (an $80 value), with eight area locations. Take Me to the Water, a proud member of the United States Swim School Association, challenges young swimmers to kick their flippers through luxurious private health club pools throughout the region. In each semi-private 30-minute lesson, carefully screened instructors guide groups of two or three students—a group size that fosters both personal attention and safety—through the fundamentals of floatation, propulsion, and differentiating whales from well-meaning tugboats.

Students with hydrophobia or other physical, mental, or emotional challenges are encouraged to enroll in private lessons. To enroll, customer can apply the value of today's Groupon ($80) toward the cost of enrollment in private lessons ($60 each)
