information about swim lessons

Registration will begin Aug. 12 at 6:30 a.m. for County residents.

Please note the following:

Parents: In order to assist us in offering a quality program for your child, you may not remain at the class unless it is stated in the description. Experience has shown that children are easily distracted.

Observation is allowed from designated areas only. At some facilities, clear observation may not be possible. Observation is not possible at the Martin Luther King Jr. Indoor Swim Center and Silver Spring Recreation and Aquatic Center indoor pools.

Class fee covers lessons only. Participants may enter the locker rooms 10 minutes before the start of class.

Lesson questions should be directed to the facility where you wish to enroll. For a detailed list of skills taught in each class, inquire at the pool where you will be taking lessons.

Courses generally meet for six 30-minute sessions.

Fees range from $60 to $66 depending on the level and number of participants.

Read course descriptions carefully and select the level at which the student has mastered all prerequisite skills. Review the guidelines for placement in swim classes on the following page.

If you are unsure of the student’s level or ability, evaluations are available at each indoor facility for one hour after the last lesson every Saturday and Sunday. All other times are by appointment.

Registrations will not be accepted after the frst lesson. There are no transfers. If you have enrolled in the incorrect level, you will be withdrawn and withdrawal fees will apply.

Aquatics Lesson Weather Policy

When an indoor lesson is canceled due to inclement weather, a practice pass will be given to each participant at the end of the session. Practice passes can be used for admission to a recreational swim session at any Montgomery County Recreation aquatic center. Practice passes expire six months from the date of issue and are valid for one adult and one child. When two or more lessons are canceled due to inclement weather, a pro-rated credit will be issued to the payer’s ActiveMONTGOMERY account at the end of the session. The credit issued will be for the cost of the canceled lesson(s). The credit can be applied to future aquatic lessons or any other Montgomery County Recreation program.

Please check each pool's listings for lesson schedule changes due to facility conficts. Lessons will be held on all other days the facility is open.
