Group Lessons

Our group lessons are 8 sessions long, 30 minutes per lesson. Weekday lessons are
twice a week in the afternoons and Saturday lessons are in the morning. In the first
session, an instructor will provide an assessment for your swimmer. Your swimmer will
be assessed on their current skills and assigned the level class they will be participating
in for the month of July. Swimmers must attend the assessment portion of swim
lessons in order to be properly placed in their class. If you are unable to attend
the assessment, please reach out to the aquatics director. This allows our instructors to
place your child in the most appropriate skill level from the start—ensuring more
effective and personalized instruction throughout the program.

If your swimmer is 6 months- 3 years old, they will be automatically placed in Stage A/B
and will have a normal class on the first session date. Your swimmer will be able to test
out of A/B and move into Stage 1 on the first day of assessments if needed. If your swimmer
is in Stage A/B, please be prepared to get in the water with your swimmer. Be sure to bring a
swimsuit, a towel and goggles (if preferred).

After the assessment, you’ll receive an email with your child’s class time and level
placement for the next session.

*Lash (Outdoor Location) – Weather Policy : In the event of inclement weather,
sessions will be rescheduled the week after the last session to ensure every swimmer
receives the full number of lessons. Refunds will not be provided after the session has started
