About Swim Lessons

Group Lessons

We are scheduling group lessons for members-only on a month-by-month basis. Current region- and nation-wide aquatics staff shortages have kept our programs small as we work to hire and train instructors in order to offer the quality lesson programs we all love. We post monthly lessons on our website and include them in our weekly "What's Happening" email. Thank you for your patience as we work through these challenges!

Transport is available, see page 11. Cost is $10 per child, per session.
