GLENWOOD POOL SWIM MONTHLY LESSONS

Glenwood pool invites children ages 3-12 to participate in our Summer Swim Lessons Programs!

Children learn water safety, basic swimming competency, and may progress through levels as they develop skills on our swimming lessons for kids, designed for 3:1 instruction. Students will learn in a small group setting with a maximum number of three swimmers and one instructor per class. Each class is 30 minutes long and groups will be determined based on age and ability. Swim lesson students will enjoy working with a dedicated instructor for the duration of their lesson sessions.  All instructors are highly-trained current and former Macomb High Bomber swimmers.

Our small group environment will ensure quality individualized attention and ongoing support from a devoted instructor committed to each student's success!
