The Shore Swim Program was developed to offer a progression based approach to swim lessons and lead into lifesaving. Skills are broken down into more achievable steps, and swimmers will focus on perfecting select skills before moving to the next level. We offer 60 and 75 minute lesson options, with a maximum of two swimmers in a class. Families can register for one lesson or several lesson sets at a time.
