We have reopened for the fall please see the updated schedule.

Our program is broken into seven skill levels.
Each level builds on skills from the previous level,
starting with the basics like bubbles and floats,
and progressing into skills like diving and competitive strokes.
See the full breakdown of skills below.

If you are transferring from another facility, or are unsure of your swim level,
