The pre-test swimming course is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Craig Swimming Complex, 605 Washington St. Tuesday is also the final day to register for the course.

The cost is $100.

Soccer tourney for all ages set for late August

Bill Sawer will host the Beach Soccer Tournament Sunday, July 22, at Sawer’s Soccer Park, 2303 W. First St.

The one-day tournament will begin at 1 p.m. and play will continue until darkness falls. It is for players of all ages and skill levels.

Participants won’t need soccer cleats, as the games will be played on sand.

There is no fee to play, and Sawer said he expects a low-key event that will allow people to “come out and play until they can’t stand.”

For more information, stop by Sawer’s Soccer Park or call 824-0116.
