Swimming is a fun way to get your child active. Through swimming, your child will:
  • Learn a new skill or improve an existing one.
  • Increase water safety.
  • Build confidence.
  • Increase interest in healthy activities.

We offer a number of different swim programs for children and youth. All of our swim lessons are taught by certified instructors who know how to make learning fun and safe.

Preschool & Youth Swim Lessons

Learning how to swim and further developing swimming skills when young not only keeps your child active and healthy, but also helps to increase their water safety for life. We offer swimming instruction based on the American Red Cross (ARC) Learn to Swim Program, which promotes both water safety and swimming skills in a safe and fun environment.
