Swimming
Warm, shallow water designed for learning.
Summer swim lessons from 6 months to 12 years in an 88–92° pool with a two-foot shallow end. Certified instructors, 6:1 ratio.
- Ages
- 6 mos – 12
- Season
- June – August
Our outdoor pool is built for beginners: warm water, a gentle shallow end, changing space, outdoor heaters and a spot for parents to watch. Water-safety skills are taught at every level.
Classes run in two-week blocks from June through August, with weather make-ups on Fridays.
Placement
Start with your child’s age, then check the skills listed for each level. Level 1 needs no skills; each level after that lists what a swimmer should already be able to do. Wave Riders must turn 3 before their first class, and swimmers who finish Wave Riders Level 4 are ready for Swim Stars Level 3. The swim levels guide (PDF) has the full checklist.

Questions parents ask
What is the swim cancellation policy?
Cancellations up to 7 days before class carry a $35 fee per child per class. There is no refund within 7 days of the start date.
What happens if swim lessons are rained out?
We add up to 10 minutes to later classes, or hold make-ups on Friday of the same week. Your teacher will let you know.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Classes are month to month in short sessions so families can explore gymnastics, dance, cheer, ninja, swimming or preschool without a big commitment.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes — 10% off for additional family members on camp fees and for families with two or more swimmers in the same swim session.
“If you have an opportunity to enroll your child in their summer swim classes, you definitely should! Our son was enrolled in the Wave-riders 1 & 2 program with Miss Avery and it was one of his highlights of summer. … Miss Avery is incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging to all of the kids in her class.”
