Equip you child or yourself with the skills to help prevent a water emergency and grow into a strong swimmer. Swim lessons are customizable to help meet the needs of an individual or group.
We offer group swim lessons year-round, providing numerous opportunities for your child to take swim lessons and become more comfortable in the water. Group swim lessons run on a month-to-month basis and are 30 minutes per lesson, with a student-to-instructor ratio of 5:1. Classes are offered on M/W and T/Th afternoons as well as Sunday mornings. See which levels we offer, and determine where your child would fit best! Children must be three years old or older to participate.
