The Learn to Swim Program is based on the American Red Cross program and is designed to integrate the principles of learning with fun and safety. This combination will give yourself and/or your child the best instruction for learning swimming skills.

Each participant will be placed in a class with an experienced, certified Water Safety Instructor who holds the student's safety and learning as his/her priority. The instructor to student ratio will be within the national standards for excellence to promote key attention for individual development. A four week (two classes per week) session is available.

Classes are held every Monday and Wednesday evening. Beginning and ending dates are listed below.
