SWIM LESSONS

Due to the amount of traffic in the pool, Swim Lessons will be on hold until further notice.

Learning to swim is an important skill that children will keep with them for life. At The Salvation Army Kroc Center, we take special care to make sure our swim lessons are comforting, welcoming and inviting for children as young as six months.  We offer classes for infants, toddlers, children, and adults. With never more than six people per class, this intimate swim instruction provides a great environment for children learning to swim.  Our swim lessons give children a platform to grow and develop their swimming skills as they become proficient at each level. At your child’s first swim class, we will assess their swimming proficiency and provide lessons for their specific skill level. To advance from one level to the next participants must demonstrate the exit skills required and have Aquatics Coordinator approval.

All lessons are based on instructor availability. We do not offer makeup lessons for any missed classes. We strictly enforce our cancellation policy. No cancellations allowed within 7 days of the start of a new session.

We love to swim, and our goal is to help children love it, too, through fun and educational swim lessons!

Things to bring for your swim lesson:

  • swimsuit
  • change of clothes
  • goggles
