Learn to Swim

Aquatic and personal water safety skills are taught in a logical progression through six levels. PRCF teaches swim lessons for preschoolers (ages 3-4 years) and those that are ages 5 years and over for levels 1,2,3, and adult.

There may be a time where a participant is switched to a different class depending on their ability.

Registration for all “Learn to Swim” classes will take place online. Unfortunately, the Aquatics Division is unable to hold spaces due to previous enrollment, age, group, or level of the child. Each class is on a first come, first served basis until all classes and levels are full. Please note that class availability are subject to change.
