Swim Lesson Levels The lessons are organized according to age and ability. CLICK HERE ------>TO READ BROCHURE If they are taking lessons now, please have the instructor advise you based on the criteria on the brochure. We will be placing the swimmers into groups based on age and ability. You will receive an email in mid-May regarding your swimmer's exact time slot. We will then evaluate the swimmers during the first week of lessons to determine that each child is in the right class and we can move children up a level if their swimming improves mid-summer.
Swim Team Evaluations On Saturday, April 15th from 3:00pm - 5:00pm we will be having a swim team evaluation at Goldfish Swim School (1688 Quincy Ave). This evaluation is intended for any new swim team member who is 8 years of age or younger who has an interest in joining the team but was not a member of the team last year. If you were in swim lessons last year and have any questions as to whether your child is ready for the team then we ask that you contact me and bring them to the evaluation. Please RSVP by April 10.
Registration CLICK HERE--------→ SWIM LESSON ONLINE REGISTRATION Swim lesson registration is a flat $160 for the five weeks.**Please note that this year we are reserving the Beginner Level 1 class for children that are at least 3 years of age. Children that are 2 years of age can be placed in the class only after registration is complete and if there is still room in the class. If there is space available, we ask that children 2 years of age be able to sit on the edge of the pool, wait their turn and follow simple 1 step instructions.
Private Lessons If your child is older than 6 or you are put on a waiting list, swim team coaches and lifeguards will be available for private lessons throughout the summer. A flyer listing the available teachers and their contact information will be posted at the pool this summer.
