Group Swim Lessons
We have partnered with USA Pools Management for their learn to swim program focusing on building skills one step at a time in a small group environment. Classes are available for children ages 5+ 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, the instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need during the 30-minute lesson. There are no more than 5 students per group. Students will work with instructors of the same gender during gender-specific swim times.
8-week session runs November 3-December 22
Girls – Sundays, 10am-1pm
Coed – Sundays, 1-2pm
Boys – Tuesdays, 4-7pm
