Do you have trouble fitting in swim lessons for your children in your busy Summer schedule? Now you can incorporate your child’s and adult swim lessons into your Summer vacation!
Our instructors are trained and certified by the American Red Cross, so our unique 6-level instructional approach is unlike anything else being offered. Each level includes training in basic water safety and helping other in an emergency, along with swimming skills presented in a logical progression.
There are six learn-to-swim levels. Each level builds on skills learned in the previous level. Children who have not participated in Red Cross lessons previously will be placed appropriately based on their current swimming skills.
Lessons meet at the Mountainside Pool, unless otherwise noted.
For more information or to register for any of our swim lessons, please call 802-644-1046.
