Looking for something fun to do with your family? Join us for Family Swim! In addition to great exercise, Family Swim gives you an opportunity to socialize and meet other members. Flotation toys are available upon request. Children must be 10 years of age to swim without parent supervision. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult age 16 or older on deck at all times. Non-swimmers must have adult supervision in the water at all times. The lifeguard on duty will enforce these rules. Swim schedules are available at the front desk.

These lessons are offered throughout the day on an instructor availability basis. Instructors work with you or your child to create an individualized program that meets the students specific needs.

We offer packages of private and semi-private lessons. Please call 224.406.9203 for more information.
