Learn to Swim Program
Our aquatics program is designed to teach personal water safety and stroke development to youth and adults alike. Sessions are typically grouped in eight class bundles. This gives students time to build confidence, explore the water and hone skills at their own pace. No matter what age or skill, we have a program for you or your child.

Registration opens on the last Wed of the preceding session.

Summer AM lessons are outside; PM & Sun lessons are inside.
The Fine Print
Due to the nature of our scheduling, there are no make-up sessions and there are no refunds. Outdoor classes are held rain or shine – we will instruct out of the pool during inclimate weather.
This information is provided within Jackrabbit – the program you have used to register for class. Visit the Parent Portal for important updates and news in the event of any class schedule changes.
