Swim Lessons
Pre-School Swim Lessons are designed for children between the ages of 3-5 years old.  Participants will learn basic stroke skills, important safety skills, and how to propel themselves independently through the water.  Children should be comfortable enough to work with an instructor in a group of 4-5 other children, and independent of their parents.  Children must be 3 by the first day of class.

Youth and Adult Swim Lessons are progressive classes for ages 6+.  Throughout the levels, participants will learn and develop a good freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, treading, entering and exiting the water, and endurance, along with other lifetime strokes and important safety skills.
