Pool uses the Olympic Way program to teach our participants.
Swimming lessons are available for all levels. We have swimming
lessons during the day as well as in the evenings. A given
participant must choose between the day or evening time slots
for any given session.
The daytime lessons are given Monday through Thursday from 9:00
to 11:00 am. The Evening sessions are given on Tuesday and
Thursdays from 5:30-6:30pm. Lessons are 30 minutes long with the
exception of the paddlers, white and yellow classes which are 20
minutes. For registration purposes, please assume all lessons
will begin on hour and half hour.
We have 3 sessions for daytime lessons and 2 sessions for
evening lessons. Please see the Aquatic Program registration
form for current season session dates. The first session will be
2 weeks in duration and the second and third sessions will be 3
weeks.
