Aleksander Popov

Scott Rakow Youth Center:
The Swimming Pool at Scott Rakow Youth Center is a Miami Beach pool that is heated in the winter, making year round swim a possibility for any resident. This six lane lap pool is the home of the Miami Beach Seahawks Swim Team. Swim lessons are available to improve skill level. Water polo and water aerobics are other fun ways to pass the time at this community pool.

The youth center offers swimming lessons through the City of Miami Beach. The lessons are taught by highly skilled American Red Cross trained and certified lifeguards. For more information about the center and its activities, log on: http://miamibeachfl.gov/parksandrecreation/scroll.aspx?id=13948
