A Fun and Exciting Opportunity!

Our Group Swim Lessons are designed for children ages 4 and up, and who are at least 32 inches tall at the top of the shoulder. We offer lessons every half hour, making it easy to find a time that works for you and your child.

  • New to Swim Lessons? If your child has little to no swim experience, we recommend starting with Level 1 to build confidence in the water.
  • Already Can Swim? If your child can swim but needs help with basic strokes or treading water, our head lifeguards are available to guide you on the best level for your child.

We strive to create a supportive and fun learning environment with a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio. Each session runs for 5 days a week over two consecutive weeks.

  • Morning Classes: 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Friday
  • Evening Classes: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday

Registration: Sign-ups are available the Thursday and Friday before each session (except for Session 2, where registration is impacted by July 4th.)

Important Note: Swim Lesson Registration Policies

We’re excited for another great season of swim lessons at the Edwards Family Aquatic Center Pool! As a reminder, all swim lessons are available on a first come, first serve basis—spots fill up fast, and we know how important it is to find a class that works for your schedule.

We’ve noticed that sometimes folks will register for multiple classes or sign up for a different level than their child needs in an effort to hold a spot. While we understand the frustration of missing out on your preferred time, this creates unnecessary challenges for staff and limits availability for other families.

Please keep in mind:

Only one registration per participant is allowed.

  • Registrations made for the wrong level or multiple time slots will not be refunded.
  • Our team is not able to adjust or transfer registrations to hold specific spots or times.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we work hard to provide a fair and smooth registration process for the whole community. Thanks for being part of it—and we can’t wait to see you at the pool!

If you have any questions about what level your child should be in, please feel free to reach out before registration opens.

Thanks,
Fircrest Parks & Recreation

On the first day, we will test all swimmers to place them in the appropriate group and will let you know at that time if the swim team is the right fit for your child.
