lessons
This program, developed by SwimSafe Pool Management, helps you learn how to swim or improve your swimming strokes, learn personal water safety skills, feel comfortable and relaxed in and around the water and have fun! Lessons are available to any Bexley resident or non-resident pool member, denoted by separate registration windows.

Participants can be registered for any or all of the sessions offered. There will not be a limitation this year. Wait lists may form depending on availability. Adding to the wait list is highly recommended so we know of additional interest and will evaluate the possibility of adding more time slots if possible.

Please select the appropriate level based on your child’s skill level. It's ok to start them a level lower to refresh and then if they test higher on the first day, they can be shifted into the next level.
