Swim lessons

Choose a level

Pick the level that matches the cautious end of the swimmer's skills. Most swimmers need about 10 hours of lessons to finish a level, which is longer than one session.

Current students can check their online progress report. Not sure where to start? Book a free 10-minute swim assessment with Josiah Stoddard at jstoddard@siviewpark.org.

  For students who do better one-on-one. Openings are limited. Two students can share a lesson if their skills are close.

The developmental swim team prepares swimmers for USA Swimming teams. Finishing Youth 6 first is recommended, and the team follows the same registration dates as lessons.

Fees

Sessions run 3 to 8 lessons. You pay the per-lesson price times the number of lessons in your session.

Example: an 8-lesson Preschool session costs $112 for residents. Private lessons are booked for the full session. Need-based scholarships are available all year; contact the pool before you register, and allow about a week for approval.

Before your first lesson

• Visit during Public Swim beforehand so your child can get to know the pool, locker rooms and deck.
• Arrive no more than 5 minutes before class, dressed in swimwear, with a towel.
• Children who are not fully potty trained wear a swim diaper with snug legs.
• Save snacks for after the lesson.
• Parents watch from the bleachers. Know your child's instructor and level, such as Pre 1 or Youth 1.
