Lessons are held on Monday, through Thursday, between 10:30 and noon. Each lesson lasts 30 minutes and is taught by one of our American Red Cross swimming instructors.

Lesson sign-up forms will be available in the cottage starting on Saturday, June 1st. There are six levels to choose from, accommodating all swimmers from beginner to advanced. If you’re not sure which lesson your child should be in, please contact Gretchen Dunn.

Once you register your child on the form in the cottage and indicate your session preferences, you will be put into the appropriate lesson and will be available on the members only pages. Lessons times are usually posted a few days prior to the start of the swim session.

Sign-ups for Session 1 must be completed by June 20th
