Shouldn't your child know how to swim

Our swim lessons are geared for anyone between the ages of 6 months through adult! Lessons are open to the public and are held nine months out of the year. All instructors are certified through the American Red Cross. Both group and private lessons are available. Upon completion certificates will be issued.

Parent's Frequently Asked Questions 

  1. How/when can I register?
    Registration is available online 24 hours a day.  Click on the link to our store listed above. In-Person registrations available by appointment only.  Please contact the Aquatics Center for availability at (239) 590-7701.  It is recommended to register as soon as the class opens as classes do fill up. 

  2. If my child misses a class, can we make it up another day?
    It depends. If the Aquatics Center cancels a lesson for reasons like poor weather conditions, there will be one dry-land “Safety Day” Lesson. If more than one lesson in a session is cancelled, make-up days will be held the Friday of the week of the missed lesson. If a lesson is missed for the participants’ own reasons, no make-up lesson can be scheduled. Because of the limited number of spaces available and the proper participant-to-instructor ratio, participants may not visit another class for a make-up.
