We are working diligently on hiring enough lifeguards and swim instructors to expand our hours and offer swim lessons.
Please check back to this page for updates.
We are still trying to determine if and how, we may be able to offer Learn to Swim Program in 2023.
All lesson registration should be completed at least 72 hours in advance of the class start time for us to determine whether the class has the minimum to start. Please, call 1st if there are less than 48 hours until the class start time. There are small minimums & maximums, so classes may fill quickly, don't wait or you might be too late!
At this time, we will NOT be offering birthday party packages for the 2022 season.
We are still determining information for whether a few limited groups may be possible this season.
Please send a request for more information, call (607) 273-1090, or email for group interest.
