  • Students must have completed Level 1 last year, or one week of Level 1 this year, prior to enrolling in Level 2.  
  • NO REFUNDS for swim lessons; please choose the correct time and skill level for your child.
  • If a class fills, waiting lists will be available and additional classes/spots may be added if appropriate.
  • Evening lessons are in high demand due to limited pool space and time.  Please refrain from enrolling your child in the same level for more than 2 sessions; we want to teach safety skills to as many children as we can!
  • Lesson schedule is subject to change and may be altered to accommodate demand.
