SWIM LESSONS

Teaching your child to swim is an essential life skill. Enrolling your child in swim lessons is the first step in educating them about water safety and the benefits of swimming.

Fall and Winter swim lessons will be held at the Cedar Valley SportsPlex indoor pool. Summer swim lessons are held at the following sites: CVSP (indoor) and Byrnes Pool (outdoor).

We do our best to maintain small class sizes as it is most beneficial for instruction and retention. All Preschool through Level 6 sessions include 8, 40-minute lessons. Infant and Toddler sessions include 4, 40-minute lessons. Infant and Toddler lessons require an adult to be in the water with the child.
