Children at swimming pool
All levels will be taught using the Red Cross swim lessons curriculum. Classes will be conducted Monday – Friday in two-week sessions. Classes are held at the Vestal High School Indoor Pool. Classes cancelled due to special events or pool maintenance problems are not made up and there is no refund. 
When registering your child, choose the level that best corresponds with your child’s age and/or swimming ability. See the Red Cross swimming level chart for further reference.  When selecting a class, please consider your child’s maturity, water comfort and prior swimming experience. If you are unsure of the placement for your child, we recommend the lower level. The child’s confidence will flourish if he/she is in the top portion of the class rather than the bottom. A child may repeat any swim level several times before passing. 

First Day of Classes:  Children are evaluated by instructors and placed into groups according to ability. There may be some adjustments made as instructors get to know the children better. Enter the Vestal High school through the main front doors and follow the labeled cones to the pool.    

Last Day of Classes: Red Cross achievement cards will be issued. Participants may register for additional lessons online (which has priority) or at the Recreation Office if there are openings. 

Questions:  If you have any questions or concerns regarding placement of your child, please feel free to speak with the on-site Pool Directors or call the Recreation Department at 754-3368.

* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
