Country Pool Swim Classes - Summer 2026 

At Country Pool, our swimming classes for kids are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. And although some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.   The children who signed up will be divided into two groups - Beginner (Fish) and Intermediate (Flying Fish).    

The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving the children the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.

During their swim lessons, children will spend time on one of the following two levels.   All youth will be evaluated for basic skills at the first class and then will be divided into two groups.    The intermediate level will do some swimming in the deep end and will be able to jump off the diving board.   The children will have 6 half hour classes over two weeks.   Each class will start with a small group meeting for all participants.
