Aquatic (Swimming) Lessons

These classes are designed to encourage parent/child learning and water adjustment in a safe and positive setting. Parents accompany their children at all times while an experienced instructor guides parents in teaching their children fundamental safety and aquatic skills. Parent/child classes are excellent opportunities for children to begin transitioning to the preschool swim program.
