Registration
Please register in person at the Gymnasium/Aquatic Facility - Dates Below
Your swimmer must get tested by one of our instructors prior to registration. The swim test is only required if you are registering for a level higher than Water Tots 1 or Level 1. You do not need a swim test for Bubble Babies, Water Tots 1, Level 1, or Adult.
Class Descriptions
The following are descriptions for each class:
Bubble Babies
Our bubble babies class is a parent and child class designed for those starting at 6 months up to 3 years of age. The class is not a ’survival swim’ class. Instead, the class is set to create a positive environment for your little future swimmer. Classes are fun while introducing swim skills through games and songs.
Water Tots
The Water Tots classes are for those participants between the ages of 3-5 years of age. Water Tot is broken down into three classes: Water Tot 1, Water Tot 2, Water Tot 3. If your participant is taking swim lessons for the first time or does not know how to swim independently yet (without floaties), they should sign up for the Water Tot 1. To be eligible for Water Tot 2 and 3, participants must have a Water Tot 1 certificate, or a swim test clearing them for that class.
Levels
The Levels classes are for those participants between the ages of 6-13 years of age. Levels are broken down into five classes: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and Pre-Cudas (Level 5). If your participant is taking swim lessons for the first time or does not know how to swim independently yet (without floaties), they should sign up for the Level 1. To be eligible for the higher classes, participants must have a Level 1 certificate, or a swim test clearing them for that class.
beginner adult
The Beginner Adult swim lesson was developed for older teens and adults. Our program gives swimmers 16 & older, with little-to-no swim experience, the opportunity to improve their skills in a safe environment, and under the guidance of a trained instructor. We will work on learning basic swimming strokes and skills needed to stay safe in the water.
advanced ADULT
The Advanced Adult swim lessons are set up for older teens and adults, 16 & older, who are looking to gain proficiency in basic aquatic skills and swimming strokes. Participants will also work on building endurance & starting technique work.
Swim Test Instructions
To get a swim test, simply go to the Big Kahuna pool at the Aquatic Facility (when it is open) and let the lifeguard know you need a swim test for swim lessons. This process takes about 5 minutes and does not cost anything. You do not need an appointment. View the current pool hours.
