Aquatics Academy

Fall 2023 Swim Lesson Schedule

Aquatics Academy Philosophy & Guarantee

Parks and Recreation's Aquatics Academy provides high-quality and affordable instruction. The shallow water at our facilities provides comfort for those who are just adjusting to the aquatic environment. Our experienced instructors work to provide a playful learning environment so that students look forward to their classes and learn through focused fun.

Parents are welcome on deck the entire session of lessons, and lesson supervisors are available to field any questions or comments. Best of all, Aquatics Academy swim lessons are guaranteed. Students, ages seven and older, will be able to swim five yards on their front and five yards on their back by the end of the session, or lessons are free until they can.

The Aquatics Academy structure works within the guiding framework of the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program but streamlines the learning process by identifying schools of learning that allow students to succeed through focused instruction. The Academy includes Parent / Tot and Preschool, Swim School, Stroke School, and Adult Lessons.
