Learn-To-Swim
Lessons are offered during the months of March through November in 4 (2xweek for 4 weeks) week sets for $35 for city residents and $45 for non-city residents (money orders only). There are different levels for learn-to-swim to allow your child to start with basic skills and then move on to stroke technique and proper swim form. Each level they graduate from makes them a stronger swimmer. Our instructors are American Red Cross certified and enjoy the experience of teaching children how to be safe in and near the water. Please refer to the list of pools above and contact your closet pool to find out more about their Learn-To-Swim classes. Private lessons are also available at all year-round sites.
