SUMMER SWIM LESSON REGISTRATION COMING SOON!

Please read to be aware of all changes made this summer!

Dear Valued Customer,

This summer we are working with our staff to maximize swim lesson opportunities for residents of Des Moines and Normandy Park. During the Spring of 2023, we were able to serve over 290 participants with 98% of those participants being residents with our new system. This is up from around 60% residents last summer (2022).

Also, all grants for free lessons have been fully utilized, so we will be back to regular fees and scholarships. See sections below for more information.

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF SCHEDULE

This summer, we have the following opportunities. See dates and times in section below.

Mornings:

• Monday & Wednesday (2x/week)
• Tuesday & Thursday (2x/week)

Evenings:

• Monday (1x/week)
• Wednesday (1x/week)

No Weekend Classes:  This summer, we will not be offering Saturday classes, as last year it was difficult to recruit staff, and participants showed up inconsistently. We hope the new evening weekday options will help develop more class opportunities and consistency.

FEES

There will be no grants available this summer. Visit our website for class fees. We also have scholarships available and simplified the process earlier this year. Click here for more information. See fee schedule below for more detailed information.

PRACTICE TIME

The district is dedicated to help youth become better swimmers. We realize that swim lessons alone are not enough, and that practice is a key component. This summer we will allow current youth swim participants and one parent* free entry during the following times.

• AM Class Participants: Monday-Thursday, 11am-Noon
• PM Class Participants:
  • Monday & Wednesday, 6-7pm
  • TuesdayThursday, 5-6pm

REGISTRATION DATES

We are dedicated to giving resident priority to register for classes. With the change to a summer schedule with children out of school, we will make the following changes.
