Swim Together

Welcome to our group swimming classes! Our group classes are designed for swimmers of all ages and abilities, from beginners to advanced. Our experienced and certified instructors will work with you to develop your skills and build your confidence in the water.

We offer online registration for classes. ALL NEW students except Level 1 require an evaluation by our Aquatics Department staff. This ensures your child is placed at the appropriate swim class level. An evaluation does not guarantee class will have an opening. Contact [email protected] to schedule an evaluation.

Please note that refunds will be subject to our administrative fees (see our Policies and Information page).

General registration for spring opens Tuesday, April 4, at 9:00 AM!
