Swim Lessons - Open MAY 13th 
We offer an array of classes that are designed to develop the swimmers skill from one level to the next through a variety of games and activities. In a group lesson setting your swimmer will have the opportunity to interact, have fun and progress with new friends. Private lessons provide the same instruction as a group lesson at a one-on-one level. All classes are held Monday – Friday for 30 minutes each day. Group lessons are held in two week sessions and private lessons are held in one week sessions.
