An essential skill for a lifetime! In addition to lifesaving knowledge, swimming is also an activity your child can enjoy for the rest of their life.
Swimming lessons are available for youth ages newborn and up in group, private, and semi-private settings. Lessons are held in four-week sessions with two half-hour classes each week. Saturday lessons are also available.
We have adjusted the way our swimming lessons look -- but they're still the same spectacular lessons!
