Group swim lessons at The Legend are a fun way for your child to learn to swim. Experienced and dedicated instructors guide your little one through the swim skill progressions which develop their confidence and swimming skills. Class sizes are kept small to ensure the best teaching and learning environment. Swim skills taught in each level are based off the Red Cross progressive swim skill requirements. There are 6 days in each session and each class is 30 minutes long. Classes are held Wednesday through Friday. Swim level/skill descriptions are available below to help you register your child in the appropriate level or you can contact Kim Krause.

There will be 5 sessions offered this summer. The fee is $75.00 per child per session. Only lessons cancelled due to weather will be made up. Refunds can not be made after the first day of class.

Parent & Tot Swim Class is the perfect opportunity to make your baby’s first swim class a fun and positive experience. This class is designed for the young child age 6 months - 3 years old. Typically children begin traditional group swim classes around 3 years old. Children age 6 months to 3 years usually respond better with a parent or caregiver in the water with them. This is also the perfect option for children age 6 months to 3 years old that are not ready to take the step into a group lesson setting. This 30 minute class will be run by a certified swim instructor that will guide you through an interactive class. You will learn a variety of techniques to help you and your baby become more comfortable in the water. Learn to splash and play your way through your baby’s first swim class!

$75 per Child per Session

Private swim lessons are limited to a maximum of 2 persons in the lesson. To request a private lesson, contact Kim Krause. The fee is $30.00 per 30 minute lesson.
