Fall/Winter/Spring 2023-2024 Group Swim Lessons 4 & 5 Years

4/5 group lessons are a great opportunity for young children (preschool to rising kindergarten) to become familiar with the aquatic environment and gain basic aquatic skills. This program is based on the Starfish Aquatics Institute Swim School Curriculum. Participants will learn the skills needed to be safe in and around the water with a goal of being water safe at the end of the program. There will be one instructor for every five children.

*NOTE: We will do our best to staff extra instructors to accommodate waitlisted children so please register even if the class is full!

Children enrolled in the ECC will be transitioned to swim lessons by the aquatics staff but will need to be picked up at 3:45 PM by an authorized adult. There will be no transfer from aquatics to extended care for ECC students.
