Group Swim Lessons:
Group lessons begin in June and run Monday through Friday at 11:30am or noon ET.
Registration is open to both Glenwood members and non-members as of 8am ET Friday, June 13.
Lessons are available for children aged 3 years old and older (as of the start of their session). All children should be able to participate without their parent or caregiver during the lessons.
Accompanying parents/caregivers should not be in the water or close enough to distract child(ren) during the lessons.
Finally, we kindly ask that non-members check in no earlier than 15 minutes before their lesson begins and check out no later than 15 minutes after their lesson ends.
Session Dates and Deadlines:
Session 1: Monday, June 23 to Thursday, July 3 (registration is June 13-June 18)
Session 2: Monday, July 7 to Friday, July 18 (registration is June 13-July 2)
We offer five levels of lessons:
-
- Pre-beginners – typically 3-5 year olds, uncomfortable with the water and likely no previous formal lesson instruction.
- Beginner 1 – usually 4-6 year olds comfortable with the water, but not as confident in their strokes.
- Beginner 2 – tends to be 5-8 year olds focused on becoming competent in freestyle and possibly backstroke.
- Beginner 3 – typically 6-9 year olds who have knowledge of freestyle and backstroke and will work to refine those strokes, and possibly learn breaststroke.
- Advanced Beginner – usually kids 6 years old & up refining their freestyle and backstroke, and just learning butterfly and breaststroke.
Register below and select the level you think is most appropriate for your child. Instructors may make level adjustments during the first day of class. Please reach out to the lessons coordinator, Erin Cuddy, by sending an email to lessons@glenwoodpool.org if you have questions about which level is most appropriate for your child.
