LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAMS
Our popular Learn to Swim Programs accomodate all level of swimmers from tots to experienced swimmers and divers. All classes are taught by qualified instructors, and class sizes are limited to 5 students. Each course covers a number of challenging skills, and complete mastery may require that the student take a course more than once and practice frequently outside of class time.
A minimum number of students is necessary for us to conduct each class (3 students for swimming classes and 6 students for diving classes). If a particular class does not register the minimum number of students, you will be contacted and given a choice of other available times.
All Learn to Swim Programs are held at the El Salido Pool.
