Y summer swim is still scheduled to begin in June as originally planned. That being said, these are very fluid times so this could adjust depending on the evolution of social distancing guidelines. Regardless, we are already preparing for summer and will adjust programming as needed to align with CDC and governmental guidelines.

Should you desire to save your summer spot, that option is available to you now. However, with sensitivity to the current state of affairs we will not be requiring any payment or deposits until we provide you with further information in May. We hope this added flexibility will aid your family in navigating the uncertainty of these times while still trying to plan for the future.

Accommodating Needs

Swimmers with Accommodating Needs
These group lessons  offer the our lowest instructor to student ratio with 1 instructor for every three swimmers to accommodate students with autism and those needing additional support.  The lower ratio will help to increase the level of repetitiveness as they focus on basic techniques such as kicking, bubbles and introduction to freestyle. This class is designed to ease children with accommodating needs into swimming and better prepare them for aquatic competition, recreation, and leadership.
1 instructor : 3 swimmers
