Swim Lessons

Notice to Members:

We’re excited to continue growing our swim lesson program! Beginning January 5, 2026, a small fee will be added to swim lessons. This change helps us maintain the highest quality instruction and provide the best possible experience for every participant. The new charge will vary based on the number of lessons per session block (approximately $6.00 per lesson). Thank you for supporting the future of swim education at the Clark Sports Center, we look forward to seeing you at the pool!

Block Three Swim Lessons

(No lessons January 19, January 24, February 14, CCS home swim meet nights or when CCS has a holiday, snow day or early dismissal). There will be no refunds for missed or cancelled lessons.

Swimming lessons are offered for youth of all ages and abilities, preschool – high school. Lessons are for members only. Class space may be limited, especially in the beginning levels. There will be no “drop-ins” allowed at lessons.
