Swim Levels
Knowing how to swim is a skill that could save your life. At the Rookery we have created a safe and secure location to bring water safety and swim lessons to all. Our indoor Aquatic Center features a zero depth warm water teaching pool and 6 lane lap swim pool for stroke development.
Choosing your level
- Lessons are based on your swimmer’s age and water comfort level
- Review our swim level lessons and choose the best fit for your swimmer and schedule
- If you are unsure which level is best, our Aquatics Leads are available anytime during open swim to complete a swim assessment to help you choose the correct level
Swim early, Swim Often
- Our Swim Lesson program is designed for swimmers starting as young as 6 months, in order to teach comfort and exploration in a safe and comfortable manner
- We encourage year round participating, if possible. Learning to swim is a layered skill and takes continued repetition and practice
- All beginners are welcome at The Rookery - from infants to grade school to adults! If this is your first experience in swimming, we are ready help you get started
