Swimming Lessons

About the Program

Parks & Recreation offers indoor youth swimming lessons held at the Newton North High School Pool. Classes are held Sunday mornings and we offer three sessions throughout the school year. 

The Swim Lessons are taught by Parks & Recreation Aquatics staff. The lessons follow an American Red Cross curriculum, adjusted to each class as necessary. We offer a variety of levels from preschool aquatics to level 6. 

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.

Program Notes:

On the first day of the session, the instructors will evaluate each student to ensure they are in the right class level. In general, if your child needs to be moved to a more appropriate level, staff can make a transfer at no additional cost. 

Please arrive early the first week to check in with the Head Instructor and get familiar with the facility. Enter the high school at the Main Entrance on Tiger Drive. We will have a staff member on the first day to direct you to the pool area.

Locker rooms, changing areas, showers and restrooms are available for swimmers & parents. Participants should have a swim suit and towel. Googles and sandals are optional. All swimmers must be fully toilet trained to swim in the high school pool.

If you have questions about your child's swim lessons, please see the Head Instructor who will be on the pool deck

A parent or guardian must remain at the facility during your child's lesson. There is seating on the pool deck and the upstairs observation area. 

Refund & Cancellation Policy

Enrollment in a Parks & Recreation aquatics program is final. A refund minus a 5% processing fee may be granted on a case by case basis only before the session begins.There are no makeup classes in the event your child misses a class.

In the event of a facility closure, such as a snow storm, you will be issued a refund for the value of the missed class. Staff will send a message to the email on your account.
