Swim lesson sessions consist of eight, 35-minute classes. Each session includes one day of basic water safety skills. Children should be able to perform all skills of the previous level before moving on to a higher level. For safety reasons, all class sizes are limited to a maximum number of participants. Classes may be canceled due to low enrollment. Instructors may move children to a different level class if the child is unable to participate in the skill level of the registered class. Please contact the Aquatics Supervisor if health conditions warrant additional accommodations for participation. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cost is $50 per class. Online registration is available for our swim lessons. Visit www.charlescounty.org/cs for schedules, lesson descriptions (new for 2007), and registration details.
