Swim Lessons

We will be offering two sessions for swim lessons this summer. All classes are on weekdays. Sign-up links to registration pages in our membership portal are below.

Each member child is offered one session of lessons at no cost. If the child is enrolled in an additional session, a fee of $10 per child is charged. This fee is payable by the first day of the session for which it applies. Swim Class Levels will be limited to an average of ten (10) and will be approximately thirty (30) minutes long. To make the classes effective by reducing distractions, we ask that unsupervised children who are not participating in class leave the premises until their class starts or the Club opens for the day.

This season we are offering a parent/child swim class for children 6 months up to 3 years. This is a great way to introduce our youngest members to the pool in a safe way.

Swim Lessons Schedule

Classes will be scheduled for two (2) daily sessions, 10:30AM and 11:15AM. All six levels will be offered daily, subject to availability of instructors and enrollment. Every effort will be made to accommodate everyone. Due to the need to limit class size, please show consideration to others by enrolling only those children who are sure they can attend faithfully. Depending upon enrollment, classes may be cancelled or combined.

• Session 1: June 9th to June 20th - Registration
• Session 2: June 23rd to July 3rd - Registration coming soon

Swim Lesson Categories

At Fort Island Swim Club, swim lessons are conducted following the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. Learn-to-Swim teaches aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. The objective is to teach people to swim and to be safe in, on, and around the water. The class levels reflect recent changes in the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. The six Learn-to-Swim levels and the objectives for each level include:

• Level 1 - Introduction to Water Skills: helps students feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely.
• Level 2 - Fundamental Aquatic Skills: gives students success with fundamental skills.
• Level 3 - Stroke Development: builds on the skills in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice
• Level 4 - Stroke Improvement: develops confidence in the strokes learned and improves other aquatic skills.
• Level 5 - Stroke Refinement: provides further coordination and refinement of strokes.
• Level 6 - Swimming and Skill Proficiency: refines the strokes so students swim them with ease, efficiency, power, and smoothness over greater distances
