Swim Lesson Program

 

Rollingwood offers group and private swim lessons to club member's children from age 3 through 13.  Swim lessons are conducted at the pool Monday through Friday and are taught by the Guard Staff and the Swim Team Members.  All instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid and Lifesaving and/or have at least three years of competitive swimming experience and a lifeguard will be on duty for every lesson.

 

All children must be 100% potty trained to be registered for swim lessons.

 

Private Lessons

Private Swim Lessons will be offered throughout the season and can be scheduled through Meghan Rudrow, the swim lesson coordinator.  Once an instructor has been assigned, the instructor and member can establish the best time for the lesson(s) based on their schedules.  The cost for private lessons is $16/half hour lesson.

 

Group Lessons

Group Lessons are conducted in sessions consisting of ten thirty minute classes.  Nine of these classes are dedicated to skill development  and one class is focused on pool rules and general pool safety.  The first lesson is dedicated to assessing the students' skill level and placing them into the appropriate group (see below).  

 

Group lesson registration is ongoing beginning Memorial Day weekend.  Please note that swim lesson registration must be conducted at Rollingwood and cannot be accommodated via email.  Checks are due at registration and must be made out to Rollingwood Pool.  Please contact Meghan Rudrow, the swim lesson coordinator for additional details and questions regarding registration or the swim lesson program.
