Red Cross certified lifeguards who are also trained in C.P.R. give our swim lessons. Each session offers three levels of lessons to accommodate your child's needs. If uncertain which level to register your child for the instructors will evaluate him/her at the first session and place them in the appropriate group.

Cost

The initial 2-week session of swim lessons costs $75 per child. Subsequent sessions are $35 each. For Attleboro residents this initial fee includes a season's pass to all four pools. For Massachusetts residents the initial fee includes a season's pass to the Spatcher Pool. Out of state residents are not eligible for swim lessons.

Family Season Pass

If you register a child for swim lessons and are purchasing a family season's pass you may credit $40 of each child's initial swim lesson fee toward your family swim pass.

Season Passes

Seasons passes will be distributed at the pool when you arrive for lessons. If you wish to go to swim prior to your lesson starting let the gate person know you have signed up for lessons and they will distribute your season's pass.

At this level children will be introduced to the deep end of the pool and treading water. Instruction will focus on stroke readiness using the front and back crawl strokes and front and back glides.
