SWIM LESSONS, BABY BUBBLES & SWIM TEAM
REGISTRATION INFORMATION FOR 2024 IS NOT AVAILABLE YET BUT YOU CAN SEE THE CLASS DESCRIPTIONS, DATES AND TIMES ARE ACCURATE.
1. You may only register for one session per child until June 10th when our first session of lessons starts and by that time there have been many opportunities to register.
2. Adults may register for up to six classes.
3. You may register for as many Saturday classes as you can attend

You can help this process by looking at the information below before you come. Look at the swim levels, dates and times. We do not have lessons in the afternoon or evening for kids. We have changed Advanced Beginner to Beginner 2 and have added some Toddler classes back in. Please choose the most accurate class for your child. We try to keep the classes with a low teacher swimmer ratio for safety reasons and for the best instruction possible.
We attempt to limit the size of the classes for quality and safety purposes. You must register at the pool of time for classes to ensure you are in the correct class and that there is room.
Swim Sessions contain Toddler, Beginner, Beginners II, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Each class is 45 minutes long and there are eight classes. Classes are held Monday-Thursday with Friday held as a make-up day if we have a weather or pool issue. We do not make up if it is the swimmer’s absence.
