Aquatics

With so many great programs for our younger members, you’ll be wishing you were a kid at the pool again!

Private and Semi-private Lessons

Private lessons are an outstanding way to further your child’s swimming ability at his/her own pace. A professional instructor will design a personalized lesson that fits your child’s needs and learning style. Semi-private lessons are a great alternative if your child has a friend of similar age and ability level. Taking lessons with a peer can make children feel more comfortable and encourage them to try new things together.

Our staff’s experience allows us to build relationships with children that center around trust. As a result, we are extremely successful working with children who are fearful of the water or have had negative experiences in the past.

All lessons are 25 minutes in length and are offered year-round during Kids Hours. Private lessons (1-on-1) and semi-private lessons (for groups of 2 to 5) are available individually or in six-lesson packages. Please remember that we have a 24-hour cancellation policy, and we teach lessons rain or shine.

Parent & Tot Swim Group

Playing in the water and learning preliminary swimming skills is a wonderful way to bond with your child and encourage a lifelong love of swimming. Our Parent & Tot Swim Group introduces babies and toddlers to the water in a safe, supportive environment. You’ll learn how to interact with your child in the water while imparting smart and simple water safety skills.

Classes run in six-week sessions and are held seasonally in the Recreational Pool. Children ages 6 months through 3 years are welcome to join us for splashing, kicking, singing, and most importantly, fun in the water! Disposable swim diapers, reusable swim pants, and bathing suits are mandatory for all participants. Guests are also welcome.

Pre Swim Team

Pre Swim Team gives children and young adults a fun, friendly environment to learn the technical skills and abilities needed for competitive swimming. Pre Swim Team meets twice a week for workouts in the Lap Pool. Children learn proper stroke technique, but the emphasis is on building endurance. This is a perfect complement to private lessons if your child’s skill level is appropriate and he/she would like to continue swimming with peers.

Pre Swim Team is open to members and guests and is held from March to October. Participants must be able to swim freestyle and backstroke for the length of the Lap Pool.
