Have a splashing good time with our water safety instructors! Swim lessons are open to members and non-members! Registration opens April 29 for the next session!
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swim lessons for children as a “layer of protection” to prevent drowning. In addition to serving as a key component of water safety, swim lessons can introduce children to a fun physical activity that they may enjoy for years to come.
We utilize the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program for our classes and our instructors are all certified Water Safety Instructors.
During our group lesson program for children, the following classes are typically offered: Parent & Child (ages 6 months – 3 years), Preschool Aquatics (ages 3-5 years), and Learn to Swim (ages 6 – 13 years).
Classes for children support the needs of never-ever swimmers as well as young swimmers progressing in their skills. Our learning environment focuses on building skills in a fun way while also focusing on water safety – important knowledge for swimmers in order to help themselves or others in an aquatic emergency. We keep our instructor to participant ratio low in order to provide the best learning environment. Parent & Child classes and the LTS level 3 & 4 have a 1 to 6 ratio, the Preschool levels 1-3 and LTS levels 1 & 2 have a 1 to 4 ratio.
