Children's Swim
The Continuing Education Institute will resume children’s swim according to our Health and Safety Protocols. At this time, children’s swim classes will not be returning in the Fall of 2021. We are hoping it will return in the Spring of 2022. Please know that event statuses are subject to change based on health and safety measures that may be in place at the time of the event. View the current campus policies.
Infant/parent and Child/Parent lessons are 30 minutes in length AND require that a parent accompany the infant/child in the pool. Beginner through Level 6 for independent swimmers are 45 minutes in length. Each session consists of five Saturday mornings. Small groups of 5-7 based on their swimming capabilities. If in doubt of your child’s ability, register for the lower level. Parents may observe the last class of each session from the balcony.
When children’s swim classes return, we will be able to offer a series of levels that your child will feel proud to master. The levels start with infant/parent and progress up through level 6.
Registration
Children’s swim classes will not be held in the Fall of 2021. Please stay tuned for news about our upcoming children’s swim classes in the spring. Thank you!
