Swim Lessons - Session 2 (7/6-7/16)

American Red Cross Learn to Swim group swimming lessons are offered Monday-Thursday, rain or shine, unless otherwise stated.  A swim membership is required to participate in swim lessons.

Group lessons are designed for children, age 6 months to 14 years old. 

Children are welcome to visit the Town Pool in advance of lessons to take our deep end swim test or swim lesson level assessment at no cost.  Please note, swim tests can not be completed during adult lap swim, aqua aerobics or swim lessons/swim team practice.  Please see our webpage and facility schedules for more information: https://www.lexingtonma.gov/1081/Town-Aquatics

Swim Level Information:

Parent/Caregiver & Child: For youth age 6 months to 2 years old.  Parents will be in the water with their children to get them acclimated to the water.
