Programs and Schedules

We use the American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. Classes are typically held one night a week for seven to nine weeks. Click the "REGISTER NOW" button at the top of the page to register for classes.

Things To Know

Registration for the upcoming session starts during week 5 or 7 of current classes. Progress Reports are handed out. Please register your child for the level given to them on the progress report.
If you do not know what level your child should be in, please contact the Aquatics Supervisor to schedule a time for an evaluation.
During the first week of lessons your child will be shown where to wait for swim lessons. In the following weeks please take your child to their spot a few minutes before lessons start.
During lessons we ask that parents sit on the bleachers or outside, not at the wall or sitting on the floor near class.
Classes will be combined if needed so all classes run.

Missed Lessons
We will do our best to find a make-up day/time for your child in classes that are not full for the following reasons.

If your child is sick AND a doctor's note is provided.*
If your child missed due to a school event (concert, science fair, etc.) and you have the program from that night.*
If there is a family emergency please contact the Aquatics Supervisor.*

*If we find this is becoming an issue and happening too many times during the session we will re-evaluate.
