Swim Lessons

Swim lessons are open to swimmers ages 4–16 and are offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with each session lasting 30 minutes. Our lessons are level-based and named, so we encourage families to carefully review each class description before selecting the appropriate session for their child.

 

The program is designed to build skills progressively beginning with water comfort and confidence, and advancing toward independent swimming of all four competitive strokes. Each level supports safe skill development while helping swimmers grow stronger, more capable, and more confident in the water.

 

  • Each session is 4 weeks long.
  • Session I:June 29 to July 24.
  • Session II:July 27 to August 21.
  • With no exceptions - no refunds after the first week of lessons.
