These lessons can be scheduled any day of the year when the pool is open for lap swimming. Only 15 spots will be open for registration. A manager will contact you to
schedule your lessons at a mutually agreed upon time. Lessons will begin on or after October 1. Once registration is filled a wait list will be created. If an instructor becomes available you may be contacted for scheduling. The package includes 6 lessons, each a half-hour in length.
