Swim Lessons

SwimAmerica Swim Lessons will begin February 8, 2023 for school-age children.

School-Age Swim Lessons

The SwimAmerica School-Age Swim Lesson Program is one of the most progressive group lesson experiences your child will encounter. Because the swimmer proceeds through the ten stations at their own pace, each child feels that their needs are being uniquely addressed. The personal attention helps the most reluctant swimmer feel comfortable. The classes are goal-driven and technique-oriented, with emphasis on good swimming form — our ten teaching stations will take your child from bubbles to butterfly.

Registration Fee (for 7 lessons*)
*8th lesson is either a bonus, or a make-up, if you miss one of the seven lessons

Members: $80.00
Non-members: $100.00

School-Age Lessons for children ages 5 and up:

Starting February 8th, Wednesday Session: 4 and 4:40 – Station 1-5 and 5:15 – Station 6-10

Starting March 1st, Monday Session: 4 and 4:40 – Station 1-5 and 5:15 – Station 6-10

Please register for Monday OR Wednesday. If you are interested in attending both days, please register for each as a separate session.

Every student must start with an assessment to place them in the correct station.

Family Discounts

In an effort to make our programs more affordable to families, we offer the following discounts:

First Child: Full price
Second Child: 5% off
Third Child: 10% off

And for each additional child, another 5% is taken off.

Your child must be ready 5 minutes before the lesson starts. Late arrivals are strongly discouraged and may not be allowed in the class.

Swim lessons are an essential safety skill for the community, and we are dedicated to providing this service in the safest and most comfortable way for our students and instructors.

Swim Lessons: 6 months – 2 years

Incredible Infants:7 to 23 months

With a parent’s assistance, the class helps infants develop a love of the aquatic environment and trains them to respond appropriately if falling in the water by accident. Goal-orientated songs and games teach your baby essential safety skills in a nurturing environment.

Terrific Twos:2 years
