Lessons for every age and skill level

Our goal is to help people of all ages be safer and more confident in the water. From blowing bubbles to competitive breaststroke, the Kroc swim instructors are here to help you achieve your goals. We limit class sizes to maximize instruction and safety. Each basic class has total of only five participants. The parent tot classes can have up to 12 participants.

Whatever your goals, we offer a swim lesson for you. From basic skills like kicking, blowing bubbles. and floating, to swim team skills like strokes and techniques. Also, private lessons and instruction for people with special needs.

Swim Lesson Requirements

  • Arrive early to check-in and familiarize your child with the facility. Please have your child ready for class at the start of the lesson time.
  • Have your child go to the bathroom before lessons. Children who are not potty trained must wear a swim diaper and plastic pants (available for purchase at the Front Desk) to prevent bathroom incidents in the pool.
  • Check-in at the swim lesson table when you first walk onto the pool deck. After the first day of class, meet the Instructor on the pool deck where the first class was previously held.
  • Swimmers are not allowed in water before their lesson time.  Please wait for your Instructor on the pool deck.  
  • A parent must be present on deck during swim lessons.  
  • Goggles are not required but recommended. 
  • Classes will be cancelled and a refund issued if we experience lightning or mechanical issues. Make-up lessons are not available, and no other refunds will be given.
  • Please be ready to take instruction from Leads and Lifeguards.
  • It’s important that you limit your interaction with your child during the swim lesson. Students will develop their swimming skills better if their attention is only directed towards their instructor. If you can’t find the class, be sure to check both pools. Instructors sometimes change pools to give students an experience in both pools.
