Aquatic Programs

Information
 

• Children must be 3 years of age or older, and be COMPLETELY potty trained
• Lessons held from 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Mondays - Thursdays
• Make-up lessons will be offered on Fridays if needed due to inclement weather or pool closings only
• Registrations WILL NOT be accepted after the cut-off date listed

If your child is unable to attend the full, two week session, sign up is not recommended. Our classes build upon what is taught each day, and when swimmers miss a class, they fall behind and do not receive the full benefit of the course. 
 

Skill Levels
Our program offers (5) different skills levels. From developing water comfort for our beginners, to stroke refinement for the more experienced swimmers, we have a level for everyone. 
 

We no longer ask parents to determine which course level your child falls in to. Instead, a maximum of (25) students will be accepted for each session. On the first day of the session, each swimmer will be evaluated, and placed in their appropriate level based on their current swim skills. Parents can assist with this determination by completing the "Swim Skills" information section on the registration form.

Fees

The fee for our "Shark School" Program is $150. Costs are per session, per child. Each child will: receive a Shark School t-shirt and a sling bag upon completion of their session. (One t-shirt/bag per child, per season)
