Lesson questions should be directed to the facility where you wish to enroll. For a detailed list of skills taught in each class, please inquire at the pool where you will be taking lessons.

Read course descriptions carefully and select the level at which the student has mastered all prerequisite skills. Review the Guidelines for Placement in Swim Classes on the following page. If you are unsure of the student’s level or ability, evaluations are available at each indoor facility for one hour after the last lesson every Saturday and Sunday.

Practice passes can be used for admission to a recreational swim session at any Montgomery County Recreation aquatic center. Practice passes expire six months from the date of issue and are valid for one adult and one child. When two or more lessons are canceled due to inclement weather, a pro-rated credit will be issued to the payer’s ActiveMONTGOMERY account at the end of the session. The credit issued will be for the cost of the canceled lesson(s). The credit can be applied to future aquatics lessons or any other Montgomery County Recreation program.

Using Mindfulness to Increase Happiness 18 & Up: For most of us, happiness is dependent on outside conditions. We suffer from the “if only” disease and never have enough to be satisfied.

Mindfulness meditation gives us tools to create a lasting happiness that doesn’t rely on others. We’ll explore how clinging to our attitudes and possessions create dissatisfaction, and how loving kindness, generosity and gratitude can help change your outlook on life.

Lack of confidence might limit the 3.5 player in effective use of lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys. This player is more comfortable at net, has improved court awareness, and is developing teamwork in doubles. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills. Class finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.

MontgomeryParks Adult Cardio Tennis

ACEing Autism @ Wheaton Indoor

This is a high energy class that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout.

Prerequisite: Families are required to complete a participant support questionnaire for the ACEing Autism organization. This information will help our coaches and volunteers be better prepared to help your child succeed. This unique curriculum aims to develop coordination, confidence, and social skills through oncourt activities that emphasize taking turns, working in teams, and following instruction. Class is led by our trained instructors and every participant is paired with a volunteer. A clear and consistent weekly routine helps participants gain comfort and familiarity with tennis fundamentals. All tennis equipment is provided. While parents/caregivers are not expected to participate with their child, we do ask them to be responsible for assisting with any self-care if necessary during the program hour.
