Swim Lessons

The process of registering is more of an application to register.  The pool staff will then do the work behind the scenes to place your swimmer into either your 1st choice or 2nd choice class if available.  We do our best to accomodate as many students as possible based on pool space and instructor availability.  Space is limited and classes do fill up fast so be sure to register as soon as possible at the time of opening registration.  Check the registration dates and times listed at the bottom of each of the pool schedules.  Once placed you will receive an invoice by email to pay for the class which will finalize the registration. 

Hint:

You are not registered until you select a specific class level w/ days and class time.  To complete registration a payment is required after we send the invoice for your selected class.
