Swim Lessons
Summer registration opens at 12pm – June 10 for members and June 12 for everyone
Please make sure your swimmer’s membership is active and up to date at least 2 business days before registration opens. We are unable to sell any new memberships after close on Friday, June 6th. NECC will send you a member registration link via email before June 10th. We strongly encourage all members to make sure they can login to their accounts and have received the registration link before the registration opens at noon. We encourage you to sign up for waitlists if a swim lesson fills up.
In summer, lessons are scheduled differently for different levels. Some levels follow a four week session with lessons twice a week, while others follow an eight week session with lessons once a week.
Summer 8 Week Session: June 23rd – August 17th
Summer 4 Week Session 1: June 23rd – July 17th
Summer 4 Week Session 2: July 21st – August 14th
Not sure what level is best for your kid? We strongly encourage you to enroll in the “lower” level – your child will develop confidence and because of the small class size, will have opportunities to comfortably transition to the next level.
