Beginning March 2021 we will be running Group Swim Lessons for the upper levels (Swimmers through Star 6) with COVID 19 protocols in place.
Registration for Spring Group & Private lessons will open March 9, at 7:30am for Y Members and March 10, at 7:30am for Non-Members. Instructors may vary. Spring Lessons will run from April 6 to June 20, 2021 (no lessons over holiday weekends).
At this time we ask that families only register their child for one lesson spot per week, in order to allow everyone the opportunity to register.
