Our Learn-to-Swim program offers a group instructional setting for participants of all swimming levels. Ages range from infants to teens. All swim classes are taught by American Red Cross-certified instructors. Each level has a ratio of at least one instructor for every six participants. A maximum of 12 participants is allowed per class and a minimum of four participants is needed to hold a class.

Patrons, please note the new levels and class descriptions starting during our summer session. The American Red Cross has recently updated the Learn-to-Swim program.
