Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons are offered as part of the aquatics programming, which also includes aquatic fitness classes, open swims, lane swims, and aquatic certifications. Some participants in Swim Lessons and other aquatics programs may be asked to complete a swim test that includes a feet-first jump into the deep end of the pool and a continuous swim from the deep end to the shallow end without stopping or holding onto the wall, lane rope, or pool edge. Participants who do not successfully complete this swim test may be required to wear a lifejacket and follow applicable supervision guidelines.
