Swim Lessons

Registration opens May 14, at 8 a.m., on EZEEreg.com. Due to the limited space available in each session and class, a registration waitlist will be maintained. Cost is $15/session.

Students will be asked to register in one of three categories – StarBabies, Swim School, or Stroke School

Introduces infants and toddlers to the water in a fun and loving environment. Parents or caregivers are taught effective techniques to teach their infants and toddlers how to float, submerge, move in the water, and roll over to breathe.
