Youth Swim Lessons

Safe and Active Future

Swim Lessons for Ages 6-16 years

Our school-age swim lessons are designed to encourage comfort and independence in the water through skill building, games, and fun. The higher-level classes offer an athletic fitness element. These lessons are 45 minutes long.

The 7-week winter session of Swim Lessons runs 1/3 to 2/20. Early registration for Members opens on Monday, December 6, non-member registration opens on Monday, December 13.

Polliwog (6-9 years)

Polliwog instructors focus on the basics of kicking, arm motions, breathing, floating, and safety with beginner swimmers.

Guppy (6-10 years)

Our guppies begin to transition from the program pool into the lap pool. They begin rhythmic breathing, refine their backstroke, build endurance, and learn safety skills all while having fun.

Register

Minnow (8-12 years)

Minnows work on refining strokes, building endurance, and begin diving. Minnows should be able to complete 25 yards of freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke, and elementary backstroke.

Register

Fish (9-16 years)

Fish instructors work with swimmers to refine strokes, increase endurance, and introduce butterfly, open turns, and survival floating.

Register

Flying Fish / Shark (9-16 years)

Flying fish and sharks continue working on stroke development and stamina while working towards completing 100 yards of front crawl, backstroke, butterfly, and breast stroke. A focus on water safety is maintained as flying fish and sharks are becoming young adults who might be thinking about jobs as swim instructors and lifeguards.
