Red Cross certified lifeguards who are also trained in C.P.R. give our swim lessons. Lessons are offered in two weekday (M-F) sessions.  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.

Attleboro residents may sign up for lessons at all pools. State residents may take lessons at the state owned George I. Spatcher Memorial  Pool. Out of state residents are not eligible for swim lessons.
