Swim Lessons

The Kingsbury Club is proud to bring you its swim lesson program. The swim lessons are based on the American Red Cross program, with our focus on high quality and low student-to-teacher ratios. There are several levels to choose from depending upon your child’s comfort and/or swimming ability. Classes range from our Water Babies, which begins at 6-months, to the Coached Swim Clinic taken by preteens and teenagers, and everything in between. The goal of the program is to create safety awareness around the water, while building a strong, efficient swimmer that enjoys the water for fitness as well as recreation. If you have any questions regarding your child’s swimming level, or any general questions about our program, please call the aquatic director.

Private/Semi Private Lessons

Private swim lessons are designed to meet your child’s individual needs and goals, This one-on-one experience will benefit those students who require additional instruction and support.
