Dear lessons program families,

We hope that all are keeping safe during this time. We are working hard to develop expanded programming* in the late spring and summer months and will supply more information on this topic as we develop more information. Of course we will only resume when it is deemed safe by our state and federal governments, including the authorities in healthcare. Please know that we miss teaching your children and we look forward to the time when we can all begin to resume our once “normal” daily lives. 

*We are holding credits for any fees paid to be used for future classes. If you have any questions, please contact the lessons office. While the facility is currently closed, we will be checking messages once or twice a week, so do leave a clear voicemail with your name and number if you need assistance.

All swim lessons, including Novice Prep, Strokes and Conditioning and Strokes School are suspended until further notice.

Please check back to the website for updates as we continue to monitor the situation.
