GROUP SWIM LESSONS
Group swim lessons are designed to teach water safety, swimming techniques, and confidence in and around the pool in a fun, social environment. Swimmers learn alongside peers who are grouped by age and skill level to ensure each class is appropriate for their abilities.
A lead instructor guides each level through essential skills and techniques while helping swimmers build comfort and confidence in the water with every class.
​
Each group lessons are 30 minutes, twice a week during our fall, winter and spring schedule.
*Summer schedules differ*
