Swim Lessons

 

Swim Lessons

Group swim lessons are for children who are ready to learn the life skill of swimming. Beginners will learn basic water safety along with how to float on their front and back, rudimentary stroke development and water acclimation skills.

We are still in need of Swim Lesson Instructors!
