Welcome to the City of American Canyon’s Swim Lesson Program! As an authorized provider for the American Red Cross, it is our goal to provide the best aquatic training and programs to promote water safety throughout our community. We have partnered with the American Red Cross which has developed and designed a Learn-to-Swim program that we offer at the Phillip West Aquatics Center. Each class is tailored to the needs of our program participants so they can progress at a comfortable pace with hands-on instruction from our aquatic staff. This program focuses on building skills one step at a time, giving the opportunity to master one element before moving onto the next. All swim lessons are two weeks, meeting Monday through Thursday, for a total of eight (8) twenty-five (25) minute classes. Space is limited, and classes are expected to fill; register early and for multiple sessions to ensure your spot.
