Aquatic Center Swimming Lessons
Fall/Winter/Spring Swimming Lessons are $35.00 a session (30 minute lesson, twice a week for 3 weeks).
* Due to COVID-19 policies we have smaller class sizes than normal and because of high demand for spots in the levels we are not allowing registration for classes prior to the week before each session starts. Thank you! *
