The American Red Cross is America's leading swim instructor, teaching people to swim for more than a century. All of our instructors are certified American Red Cross Water Safety Instructors. Our programs include parent/toddler introductory programs, preschool, and progressive youth swim, swim team prep, lap swimming, and much more.
Unless you are signing up for a beginner-level class, we require a swim assessment prior to new students registering for more advanced lessons. Swim assessments are available any time during hours of operation. Simply request a swim assessment at our membership desk when you check-in!
