2025 Swim Lessons  

Limit your initial sign-up to two sessions per child in order to give lesson opportunities to as many families as possible. If space is available after June 15th, you may sign up for additional sessions.

 Please make every effort to sign up for the appropriate level.

The set of 4 lessons will be identified by the date of the first meeting; Monday for all groups. Lessons are FREE for bonded members and $10/week for seasonal, paid at the pool on the first lesson day.   

At Willow Grove, we believe that learning to swim is an important life skill, and we strive to develop strong, safe lifelong swimmers! We offer swim lessons to our members who are age 3 and older and who are fully toilet trained.

All lessons are small group and are taught by select lifeguards on our staff. These staff members are often also available for private lessons. The lessons are for the swimmers only, but we do need a parent or caregiver to remain at the club during the lesson time.

The following is a general description of the levels of swim instruction:

• BEGINNER: This level helps children adjust to the water. They will learn to enter and exit the water safely, learn floating skills on front and back, begin to learn about coordinating arm and leg movements and learn about putting their face fully underwater and breath control.
• INTERMEDIATE: This level is for the child who is more comfortable in the water and is able to put their face under the water, but not be able to swim fully independently yet. They will continue to build on coordinating arm and leg movements to move in a forward motion across the pool, strengthen floating and kicking skills, and begin to learn about proper breathing techniques.
• ADVANCED:  This level is for those children that can swim independently with their face in the water.  They will refine their front crawl and begin to learn backstroke.  They will also build endurance in treading water and learn rotary breathing skills.
