Swimmer 1-6 - 6 to 12 Years

Private Lessons - 3 Years+

Adult Lessons 18 Years+

Swimsuit, towel and goggles if needed or preferred. If you have a progress card from a prior swim lesson, please bring it with you (not required for Winter 2023 session during transition to Swim for Life® program). This allows the instructor to have a better idea of the skills that need to be worked on. 

This is a progressive program. Participants must complete a level before advancing.

If you are unsure what level your child is in, screening is available during public swim times when it is not busy.  Screening is free.  If you stay to swim, the public swim fee applies.  Please speak to the Head Guard on duty about screening for class levels.  Admission Standards apply and may require a parent or guardian to enter the water with a child being screened, based on age and/or ability of the child. 

Summer Lessons - We recommend two weeks to complete a level.  Weeks do not have to be consecutive.

Developing swimming skills requires a lot of patience and positive feedback. In order to be successful, we encourage you to talk to your child about their lessons.  Make sure that you have realistic expectations and your child feels no pressure to complete a level.  You both should acknowledge the importance of completing the skills taught during each lesson at a pace that is suitable for your child – swimming lessons are a long term progression. 

A pool deck supervisor is on duty at all times during our swimming lessons.  The supervisors are available to answer any lesson-related questions and assist you with any of your concerns.  Should you have a concern, do not hesitate to speak with the pool deck supervisor immediately – we encourage you not to wait until the last class.

No. Due to the large volume of swimming participants, we are unable to accommodate instructor requests. 

Due to the large volume of swimming participants, we are unable to reschedule missed lessons. If you miss the last lesson, you may pick up your progress card at the facility where the lessons took place.
