Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 3, S3GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 3, S3GB
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 3, S3GB
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 3, S3GC
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 3, S3GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger.

These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water.

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming lessons 2025 - Tiny Tots - Tiny Tots, 2025 Session 4
Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class. Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 4, S4GB
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming lessons 2025 - Tiny Tots - Tiny Tots, 2025 Session 5
Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 5, S5GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 5, S5GA
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger.

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water.

Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 5, S5GA

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger.

These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 5, S5GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.

Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water.

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 6, S6GB
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 6, S6GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger.

These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class.

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 6, S6GA
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 6, S6GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger.

These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class.

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 6, S6GA
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 6, S6GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 6, S6GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:

These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water.

Swimming Lessons 2025 - Learning Basics - Learning Basics, Session 7, S7GA
Swimming Lessons, Learning BasicsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Learning Basics is for any age but geared towards PK/Kindergarten and early elementary school age children. Some prerequisites are: a desire to float and learn how to swim. This participant is comfortable putting their face in the water but is just starting learning how to move through the water. This class is also good for the child who is under 3 feet tall or cannot hold onto the wall independently as life jackets will be more available for this program than the Building Skills program. Based upon our experience from last year, we will break this group into a younger and older kids session so kids can learn amongst peers.Purpose: The goals of this class to reinforce the desire to be comfortable in the water and learn some introductory propulsion moves. Safety is taught, at group appropriate levels, in every class. Class limit is 6 participants.Session Schedule:Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 7, S7GA
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming lessons 2025 - Pre-Swimmers - Pre-swimmers, Session 7, S7GC
Swimming Lessons, Pre-SwimmersCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year - offered in the morning this year.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.Pre-Swimmers is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. The big difference between Pre-swimmer and Tiny Tots is the absence of a caretaker in the water with the child. This is the first step of a participant in being in the water independently. These registrants will be learning in the shallow end of the pool. Prerequisites are being able to blow bubbles, confidently submerge mouth in water and can jump on land. A support person for the participant is not expected in this class. If the child has separation anxiety from a guardian, please consider enrolling in the Tiny Tots class.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build confidence in the water, entering and exiting the water voluntarily and moving independently. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver. This class is limited to 4 participants per class so if these groups fills up, you may want to consider Tiny Tots and being in the water with your child.Session Schedule:
Session 1 - June 23-27Session 2 - June 30- July 3 (no class on 7/4)Session 3 - July 7 - 11Session 4 - July 14-18Session 5 - July 21 - 25Session 6 - July 28 - August 1Session 7 - August 4-8Session 8 - August 11-15

Swimming Lessons, Tiny TotsCoordinators: PRD StaffWe will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year but in the mornings.Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday, without the usual thunderstorm make up day. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool. We cap this class at 12/class.Tiny Tots does not have an age requirement, it can be for wee little ones or older who still have separation anxiety and would be better off with additional support in the water. The only pre-requisite is that the child is able to hold their head up above the water. A caretaker needs to go into the water with the child for each lesson.Purpose: This class is primarily offered to introduce the child to the water, to become a little more comfortable with the water through games, songs and activities in the water. The class will include instruction on supports, holding, and guiding techniques to aid in increasing child’s comfort that the caregiver can use outside of the class.
