Swim lessons at McBean Pool are available from May through August. We offer lessons for swimmers of all abilities ages 6 months and up utilizing the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. In the Learn-to-Swim program, parents or guardians of children up to 5 years of age will actively participate in their child's swim lessons. This helps to increase the child's comfort level in the water, and helps parents practice skills with their children between classes.
We offer group, private and semi-private lessons. All swim instructors are certified in lifeguard training, CPR, AED and First Aid.
Registration opens April 1
