Group Swim Lesson Registration
We are delighted you’re interested in enhancing your child’s swimming abilities!
Registration Information
For the upcoming swim season, we’ve increased available spaces by offering four sessions, each featuring five or six classes. To ensure wider access, each session will be capped at 10 swimmers and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lessons are complimentary for full-share members and $40 for associate members. To allow as many families as possible to participate, registration is limited to one child per session per family. We kindly request that children already enrolled in the swim team refrain from occupying lesson spots, as they will receive six weeks of dedicated instruction.
All sessions accommodate a range of skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Our instructors are committed to grouping children by ability within each session to optimize their learning experience.
Registration for swim lessons will open on: [Date TBD]
