2025 Spring Swim Lessons
Our instructor to swimmer ratio is 1 to 3 for lower levels, and 1 to four for advanced levels. Children will be assigned an instructor based on age/ability. We do offer a level for swimmers who have graduated the swim lesson program and wish to focus on stroke technique. The lessons will be instructed by BW Swimmers and Divers and supervised by the BW Swimming & Diving coach staff.
