Kids may take swim lessons as a part of their day camp experience, or as stand-alone lessons. If day campers need to miss a swim lesson due to a field trip, there are make-up sessions available. Swim Lessons are at 12:30pm.

Skills are tested the first day and students are placed in the appropriate level. There are 3 levels of swim lessons offered: Level 1 - Beginner, Level 2 - Middle, and Level 3 - Intermediate.
