SWIM LESSONS
Learn to swim for fun and safety! Our swim program provides a comprehensive approach to swimming and water safety that teaches participants how to swim skillfully, while learning to think and act safely in, on, and around water. Levels are offered for preschool (ages 3-4) through level 6 in the fall, spring and summer.

Parent/Child swim lessons (for children ages 6 months-2 years and a parent) helps to enhance the child's comfort in the water and introduces basic skills that will help prepare for the preschool level without parents.
