We are working on our 2023 program. Please check back for details.
While we are still working out our swim lessons options, we encourage you to consider the Waterspouts, our pre-swim team program.
Waterspouts is aimed at swimmers ages 4-6 who can swim a little bit, independently, but aren't quite ready for the swim team. If you would like more information, please visit the swim team website or contact exscswimteam@gmail.com.
Swimmers who can swim at least half the length of the pool: please take a look at our Swim Team page. It is a great opportunity for swimmers to learn the strokes and gain strength and endurance in the water!
The goal of our swim instruction program is to help children develop water safety and confidence while also learning basic stokes, floating, technique, and fun in the water.
Each group session is 8 lessons, and each lesson is 30 minutes. All instructors are trained and certified.
For information about the pre-swim team program, WaterSpouts, please visit the Swim Team Website here.
