Group Swim Lessons at the SRWC are for both adults and children. Our Adult Group Swim Lessons are free and drop in. Our Children's Group Swim Lessons consists of small group classes that are great for families with multiple children, infants 6 months of age that need to develop a comfort around the water, and any youth who want to learn to swim. All classes are taught to American Red Cross standards. Check out the schedules below!
Private Swim Lessons

Private Lessons are a great way to set individual goals and have one-on-one attention from an instructor. Our certified Water Safety Instructors work within each individual's or partners' schedules to offer the most convenient option for learning to swim or updating your skills. Sessions are 30 minutes in length and for SRWC Members only.
