Group Swim Lessons September 2022 - April, 2023 4 & 5 Years

Session Dates: September-April

2 Days per Week (M/W OR T/Th) 3:15-3:45 PM

Preschool to rising kindergarten group lessons are a great opportunity for young children (4 years old to 5 years old) to become familiar with the aquatic environment and gain basic aquatic skills in a fun and friendly setting. Participants will learn the skills needed to be safe in and around the water. There will be 1 instructor for every 5 children. We recommend only signing up for M/W OR T/Th as the lesson plan will be the same for both days.

Children will be transitioned from ECC to swim lessons by Aquatics Staff but will need to be picked up at 3:45 by an authorized adult. There will be no transfer from aquatics to extended care for ECC children.
