Swimming Lessons
We offer American Red Cross Swim Lessons which are from the Learn to Swim program. The program consists of 6 skill levels. We offer both group lessons and private lessons. Please click the links below to learn more about each type of lessons. A child may begin lessons at Melody Pool if they can do the following:
- Stand in shallow area of pool without support
- Able to follow directions
*Swimmers can be tested to be placed in the appropriate level
Group Lesson Description
Group lessons can have from 1 student up to 10 students per instructor per class. We strive to have a 5 to 1 student to teacher ratio. Group lessons are taught using the Red Cross structure, but will be adjusted to the actual skill levels of the students within each session. All group lessons are 2 weeks long. The class time will run 30 minutes for each day. Classes are scheduled Monday-Thursday with both Fridays being reserved for make-up weather days. Although please show up rain or shine unless told otherwise. We do put in our schedule a safety day which can be entirely taught out of the water. For specific session instructions please see the session instructor.
Group Lesson Fees
Fee is per child/per session

*Non Member fee includes 8 day pass to the pool only good on lessons days and will only admit one child and one chaperone so child may practice skills learned in class. This is included because we feel practice is important for child to master newly learned skills
