This swimming program has a little bit for everyone. Did you always wish that you had learned how to swim as a child? Well it’s never too late to get started. The purpose of this program is what YOU want to get out of it. For some of you that may mean personal safety, “I want to be able to save myself.” For others it may be learning to swim the basic strokes so that you can later use them for fitness swimming. Your needs will be discussed at the beginning of the class, and the class will be geared towards meeting your personal goals.

If your swimming skills aren’t ready for public viewing, or if our group lessons don’t fit your schedule, we can provide one on one sessions with experienced instructors tailored to meet your needs. Whether you’ve never learned to swim or just want to improve your technique, we can match you with the appropriate level of instruction. Call today for an appointment. No coupon.
