Swim Lesson Test Day

On Saturday, June 5 at 10:00 a.m. we will have a life-guard available to test swimming skills for placement in the proper swimming level.

Members can register with the concessions staff during regular pool hours. To maximize teaching/learning, class sizes for Levels 1-3 will be limited to five children per session. A minimum of three children is required for each class. Register your children in the highest level they completed last summer. If you do not know which level to register your child in, please refer to the Description of Classes, join us on Test Day, or see the manager. Adjustments may be made the first day of classes.
