Programs
Due to a high volume of current participant retention, private and semi-private lessons are currently waitlist only for this session. Please add yourself onto our waitlist and we will reach out to anyone who registers on the waitlist if any spots become available, on a first come, first serve basis. Thank you.
**Current participants will have priority registration**
Participants taking private swim lessons will receive specific input, which is very helpful in making minor adjustments as you or your child develop swimming confidence.
All private swim lessons are 25-minutes in length. If attempts were made to accommodate scheduling conflicts, no refund will be issued. However, a possible expiration extension may be given.
*Semi-Private swim lesson participants must be similar in skill level.
Things to bring:
+ Towel
+ Goggles that do NOT cover the nose
+ Swimsuit
+ Smiles!

Note:
Swim lessons at the Shaker Heights Middle School Pool located at 20600 Shaker Blvd, Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122. Parking is located at the front of the building, off Shaker Blvd. Enter through the middle doors (Door D, "Pool Entrance"), not at the main entrance.
Please arrive approx. 10 minutes before your swim lesson is scheduled, to allow time for parking, and to get changed and on to the pool deck. All participants and families must enter through their respective locker rooms. Children ages 5 and under can use the locker room of the opposite sex with a parent/guardian, if needed. When entering the building, girls changing room is to the right, and boys is to the left (near end of hall).
All families are asked to sit up in the pool viewing area while swim lessons are in session, as seating around the pool deck can be limited. You are more than welcome to wait with your child until they are comfortably in the water.
