Children’s Swim Programs

CHILDREN’S GROUP SWIM CLASSES

Our group swim lessons offer a structured, supportive environment for children of all skill levels. These classes are designed to help participants develop essential swimming skills, improve technique, and build confidence in the water. No prior experience is required for most levels, though some do have specific skill prerequisites.

All classes are 30 minutes long. Parent/child participation is required for certain age groups, as noted below.

FALL 2025 SEMESTER ENROLLMENT IS OPEN!
