2008 SWIM LESSONS ww home

downlowd our 2008 lesson brochure (pdf file)

Wedgwood Swim Pool pool provides a unique opportunity for the young swimmer to learn. Our pool begins at only 6 inches in depth and we have a substantial shallow wading area which allows small children a means to stand up and stay above water while gaining confidence in their abilities. Our class ratios keep classes small and our instructors are dedicated to providing a safe, fun, high quality swim program.

We do offer lessons to non-pool members! (In 2007 nearly 94% of our lessons were taken by non-members) Feel free to drop by check out our pool. If you have questions, call us at 206-523-8211 or contact our Lesson Coordinator at: swimlessons@wwpool.org

Our 2008 lessons will begin on Monday June 23rd...
