Swimming Lessons

All swimming lessons are offered in our heated, outdoor pool. Our class sizes are small; we never put more than 5 children in a class. We offer daytime and evening lessons in the months of June and July each summer.

IPAP: 12 mo - 3 yrs

The Infant and Preschool Aquatics Program (IPAP) is offered for children ages twelve month through 3 years of age.  All participants will be accompanied in the water by a parent or guardian.  This program is not designed to teach children to swim or even to survive in the water on their own.  The emphasis is on having fun and preparing for swimming readiness.
