We accept swimmers of all levels! Please see the American Red Cross swim level chart in the additional forms link below to determine where you fit best. Classes are 30 minutes in length for three weeks. Thunder and Lightning is a hazard for both indoor and outdoor lessons. In the event of such weather, the water safety instructors will hold “out of water” lessons that contain important information that your child must know (why people drown”, basic water safety, accident prevention, water hazards, and using the buddy system).
Registration for Session Two is July 18-24.
Registration is on a first-come/first-serve basis.
