Swim Lessons

The Bloomington Parks & Recreation Department offers group swim lessons and private swim lessons to children as young as 6 months of age. A progressive system is used where students move at their own pace through a series of levels.

Please see Summer Program Guide for a complete list of class offerings.

Class Cancellations

Swim lesson cancellations only occur for severe weather. If necessary, classes would be cancelled approximately 10 minutes prior to the start of each class. Every effort will be made to make up any cancelled lessons.
