Swimming Lesson Levels


Adaptive Lessons


The aquatics department is committed to promoting the dignity, independence and potential of persons with disabilities, though small group size lessons. Ideal for children aged 3 - 12 years with mental or physical disabilities who learn best in a quieter environment. Please note: Lesson intake form must be filled out prior to lessons.


Parent Participation - Infant & Tot Lessons


Starfish (4-12 months), Duck (12-24 months) and Sea Turtle (24-36 months) are parent participation lessons. Parents are in the water giving one on one attention to their children and learning the basics of being water wise through games and exploration.

Private Lessons

- One-on-one instruction for those needing individual attention. All ages are welcome.
