About Youth Swimming Lessons
Build skills and confidence with our Youth Swimming Lessons and Water Safety Programs. Our comprehensive course levels teach participants how to swim successfully and safely. The water instructors are thoroughly trained so swimmers of all ages and abilities are safe. Participants in advanced levels will learn a variety of strokes, personal safety skills and diving techniques. We welcome parents and guests to watch the lessons in designated areas while our instructors provide fun, in-water training. If weather is a concern for the day of swimming lessons, you will need to call the weather hot-line for cancellations/make-up information at 240-313-2811. All classes are held at the pool within Marty Snook Park. Listed below are swimming levels for classes. Please read the descriptions and choose your appropriate swimming lesson.
