... A GREAT PLACE TO BELONG!

The Colony Swim Club provides swim lessons for club members only. Prospective members on the Colony membership waitlist are allowed to take swim lessons in Session #4 if space is available. The lessons are available for children of all abilities. Lessons are taught by our life guarding staff and follow American Red Cross guidelines.  

Sessions and Times:  The first class time for each session will be 10:30 am.  The second class time will start at 11:15 am. 

As recommended by the American Red Cross, we will limit class sizes in order to provide a safe, manageable student-teacher ratio (typical: Level 1-3: 8 or less students, level 4-6: 10 or less students/instructor). We will try to accommodate your first choice but reserve the right to assign second and third choice. (Earlier postmark will get higher priority.)
 
Parents and children are asked to please stay behind the black fence during lessons.  If you intend to stay and swim after lessons are all over please remember to sign in at the front desk.

Levels:  Swim lessons are based on the American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” program.  If you’re not sure which level your child should be in, please take your best guess and add a note to the lesson sign-up sheet, and we’ll follow-up with you.
