Swim Lessons

Swimming is a life-skill. We offer a variety of swimming lessons to choose from for all ages and levels. Our Lifesaving Society Swim Program stresses lots of in-water practice to develop swimming strokes and skills. Progression Chart Program Descriptions Chart

Swim Lesson Information

What level should I register in?
Visit any of our pools and one of our customer service or aquatic staff can assist you in determining what level to register you or your child in.

What to expect from swimming lessons
Swimming requires practice and positive feedback to be successful. The Swim Program allows students to progress comfortably at their own rate. Make sure that you have realistic expectations and that your child feels no pressure to 'pass' a level, but rather focus on 'completing' the skills at his/her own rate.

Missed Classes
In the event that a customer is unable to attend a class(es), the City regrets that make-up class(es) will not be offered.

Drop-in Swim

Drop-in activites are pay-as-you-go which allows you to swim at your convenience. Find a drop-in swim time that's right for you.
