Swimming Lessons

Kearney Park and Recreation coordinates three sessions of swim lessons in the summer at Harmon and Centennial swimming pools. The lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim format. Class registration will be done through KPR by phone, mail, online or in person at the KPR Office (1930 University Drive).

 Guidelines to know before registering for classes:

  • You may only register your child for one class at a time. Once the class has concluded, you may register for an additional class.
  • Please register at least 3 working days before the start of the class.
  • Class registration cannot be done at the swimming pools.
  • Closely review the "prerequisites" of each class before registering to determine the level your child should be in.
