Pool Swim Lessons

 
LEARN to SWIM at a COUNTY POOL!

Palm Beach County is proud to offer the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program, the most comprehensive and effective program available. The progressive skill levels are designed to help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop and refine their skills. Each group lesson has a minimum and maximum enrollment and is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Children are grouped into five skill levels. The cost is $45 per session and may be paid for by check or money order payable to Board of County Commissioners. All classes are taught by American Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructors.
