  We have changed the format of our swim lessons.  Each day of the week is its own session which lasts for one month.  Instead of having 8 lessons we are offering 4 lessons per session.  We hope that this will help lower the cost of swim lessons so that more people can learn how to swim!
  
  No registrations by phone. Some swim lessons might be combined with another level above or below the original class. This will only occur if there are not enough children in the class.
