Swim Lessons - Extended Summer at Gurney Lane Term 5A
***Extended Summer Swim Lessons - with construction still taking place at the Queensbury Elementary School we have decided to extend outdoor swim lessons at Gurney Lane in lieu of our regular fall programming on Saturday mornings in September and October. Our goal is to offer consecutive 1-week terms, provided weather and pool conditions remain favorable for outdoor instruction at Gurney Lane. We will be offering limited classes for Levels 1-3, between 10:00 AM-12:00 PM. Terms will be determined and opened for registration on Wednesdays the preceding week.
Swim lessons for ages 3-16 are taught the American Red Cross Pre-School Aquatics and Learn to Swim Levels 1-6 progressions by department-trained swim lesson instructors and swim aides, overseen by a certified American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor.
Learn-to-Swim classes are designed to improve each child’s swimming skills at their own pace. Swimming requires advanced motor coordination that requires considerable practice, so it is not unusual for a student to stay at one skill level for more than one session.
For a more accurate placement of your child in our swimming lesson program, please refer to the detailed skills sheet for each level, available at our office or online at recreation.queensburyny.gov.
