learn to swim
Join us at Snake Pond this summer for semi private American Red Cross swim instruction!

Semi-private lessons are being offered to swimmers of all ages and swimming abilities in groups of no more than 4 swimmers.  These lessons are perfect for siblings, cousins, neighbors, and friends who want to learn to swim together in a more individualized setting than traditional lessons offer. Each class is led by an American Red Cross certified Instructor . Due to the more individualized instruction participants tend to build stronger skill sets quicker and gain confidence in the water while having fun.

Classes will run Monday, Wednesday, Friday for a  ½ hour class – 2 week session. This would give a total of 6 classes of semi-private swim instruction for $150 .
There are no credits or refunds issued for semi private lessons. Please note: there will NOT be make-up classes for cancellations due to unsafe swimming conditions (Ex:weather) Classes will be held in the rain .

All classes will meet at Snake Pond Public Beach located at Snake Pond Rd in Forestdale.

Please note: Resident Beach sticker will be required for all vehicles entering Snake Pond. Non-Residents- please email the Recreation Office to receive a parking pass specific to your swim lesson date and time.
