** Please note the preschool classes are $225 for Newton Residents and $275 for Non-Residents. Preschool age swimmers (5 and under) do not need a lake membership so the lesson registration fee is slightly higher. 

ALL swim lesson participants must have a summer lake membership. This can be purchased ONLINE. You will need to pick up your scan tag at your first visit to the pool. This is a separate one time purchase per summer. Once you register for your swim lessons, you can purchase the membership under the "memberships" section or click this link:

About the Program:

The Swim Lessons Program will be taught by Swim Instructors and their assistants. The lesson will follow an American Red Cross curriculum, adjusted to each class as necessary. The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving them the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water. 

Refund Policy:

Enrollment in a Parks, Recreation & Culture Aquatics program including swimming lessons, swim team and Lifeguard training courses are final.  Once the session has started, there are no refunds or credits given. In the event of inclement weather causing the facility to be closed, you will receive a refund for the value of the missed lesson.


Notes for Parents/Guardians:

Scan in at the Front Desk each morning.

On the first day of the session, the instructors will evaluate each student to ensure they are in the correct class level.

Please arrive early the first day to check in with the Head Instructor and get familiar with the facility.

Locker rooms, changing areas, showers, and restrooms are available for swimmers and parents/guardians.

Children MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian while in the Showers 

If you have any questions about your child's swim lesson, please see the Head Instructor.

What to bring: swim suit and a towel, goggles are optional. Lessons are held outdoors so please practice sun safety by wearing sunscreen.


Weather Policy: 

Swim Lessons are held rain or shine - lake only closes for Thunder/Lightening 

Feel free to call before your swim lesson to ensure the class will still be running in inclement weather
