Aquatic Programs

Swim Lessons   

Group swim lessons are on a first come, first serve basis. Specific days are held for registration and placement for members and non-members. Non-swimmers do not need to be tested. All children who have any swimming ability (without a flotation device) are tested so they may be placed into the proper class. Our swim program is based upon the Red Cross levels and follows their guidelines. All of our instructors are certified and trained.
