Swim Lessons
Sessions 1, 2 and 3 include swim lessons. Swimmers must have passed all previous swimming
levels in order to advance to the next level. All children may be moved up or down
in levels at the discretion of our Certified Water Safety Instructors. We are committed
to giving your child the best learning experience possible, and want them to be able
to both learn and succeed at our swimming lessons.
When registering your camper, you will be asked to place them in a swim level. Be
very aware of your camper's aquatic skill and ability so that we may place them in
the proper swim group. Please communicate and questions, comments, or concerns with
camp staff prior to the first day.
