Learn to Swim Group Lessons



THERE ARE NO GROUP SWIM LESSONS OFFERED AT THIS TIME. Please see the Learn To Swim Program Spring 2019 Schedule (PDF) for session and registration dates. 

As of 8 a.m. on March 4, 2019, registration for the first session of spring swim lessons may be done online or at the Burns Road Recreation Center service desk.

The focus of this American Red Cross program is to give participants ages 6 months and up the physical skills and safety knowledge necessary to maximize their enjoyment of the water. Group, private, adult and teen lessons are available. 

Please view Where do I place my swimmer? (PDF) to help you determine which class best fits your swimmer's needs.

Note: a participant will not be permitted to participate in a class beyond their skill level regardless of registration. Participants will only be transferred to the appropriate class if space is available. A swim evaluation is the best way to ensure your swimmer is signed up for the correct level. Please call 561-630-1100 to set up an appointment. 

Please call our aquatic hotline (561-630-1127) for updates on class cancellations due to weather.
