We offer a wonderful “Learn to Swim Program” for all ages, emphasizing the adaptation to a new environment with the goal of making such a transition conceivable. from “non-swimmer” to “swimmer” comfortable and enjoyable.

Group Lessons are taught in two-week sessions consisting of ten half-hour lessons. Children are placed in groups of no more than five according to age and ability level. Group lessons are offered from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm. Children must be a minimum of three years of age to participate. Please consult our detailed group lessons page for more information.

All of our lessons are taught by gentle, highly qualified instructors in our heated pool. We have a full-range of group and private lessons available for all ages and abilities. Adult and extended level lessons are also available upon request.
