Group Swim Lessons

Our learn to swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time in a small group environment. Classes are available for children ages 3-13 and are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. Although some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need during the 30-minute lesson. Students will work with instructors of the same gender during gender-specific swim times. There will be no make-up sessions or credits given for missed swim lessons.
