Swim Programs
Through our swim lessons, we teach swimmers of all ages and skill levels to master swimming while teaching the importance of water safety. Group swimming lessons are designed for children ages 3 to 12. Teen/Adult, as well as Parent & Toddler classes, are also available. Level placement is based on the student’s swimming ability, age, and date registered. Swimmers ‘graduate’ to more advanced levels once they are competent in all the skills covered in the previous level.
For more details on the structure of our learn-to-swim program, view the Swimming and Water Safety Skills Chart, linked below.
