Group Swim lessons
Each level of swim lessons will focus on skills that will progress in difficulty. At the end of each session (7weeks) students will be evaluated and moved if necessary. All swim lessons are geared toward increasing the student’s self-confidence and physical fitness. This course also includes a "Safety Around Water" a lesson to help grow awareness and skills in the water.
*Students should bring appropriate swim attire and goggles.
****Parents cannot stay in class with the student, it is drop off only. They are welcome to attend 'Watch Me Swim' days as offered, and they can stay in the lobby to observe the lessons, but they can't be in the pool area.
