Swim Lessons

 

Group swim lesson registration for members and non-members is open!

At OHAC we offer a variety of swim lesson options for our community. Group Swim Lessons are open to members and non-members in a small-group setting (5–10 kids total) for beginning swimmers. Private lessons are for members only, can be tailored to the ability of the swimmer (or diver!), and can be taught to children or adults.

Group Swim Lessons

Format: Each session includes eight (8) lessons total, with four (4) classes per week.

Location: All lessons take place in the kiddie pool at OHAC Pool.

Pricing (per session):

  • $150/child for OHAC members
  • $200/child for non-members

Important Notes

  • Class size: Six (6) students minimum; ten (10) maximum. Lessons may be cancelled if fewer than six students are registered.
  • Age/readiness: All students must be potty trained and able to communicate their needs (generally age 3+).
  • Parents/guardians: Please stay at the pool during the lesson, but remain in the seating area.
  • Cancellations: We make every effort to hold lessons as scheduled; however, cancellations may occur due to factors beyond our control (inclement weather, pool mechanical failure, air quality, instructor availability, etc.). No make-up classes will be offered. We do not offer refunds for weather-related cancellations or for students unable to attend the full session.
