WELCOME to the 2019 CATS LEARN 2 SWIM LESSON SEASON!  We are pleased to offer a number of great swim programs at the Crofton Swim and Tennis Club!  Our CATS LEARN 2 SWIM program features smaller groups, a staff of trained lifeguards and passionate swim instructors, clear objectives and expectations for each level, a knowledgeable and accessible program director, swimmer progress reports and more!  

The CATS L2S SWIM MINI CAMP is designed for our youngest swimmers (age 5-8) who want to get their ’feet wet’ prior to the start of the CATS SWIM TEAM season. Our 30 minute classes start at 5:30 pm and end at 7 pm

Mini Camp Objectives

1. To help our younger swimmers decide which level of swim they would fit into (Swim Team or JUNIOR CATS)
2. To give swimmers an extra opportunity to become reacquainted with the size and length of our pool
3. We will touch on the basics of the 4 competitive swim strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly) as well as racing starts and heat winning finishes!

Our JUNIOR CATS Swim Program is designed for swimmers who have graduated from our Learn 2 Swim lessons program, but are not ready to make the full commitment to the CATS Swim Team.  The JUNIOR CATS will practice Monday- Friday from 10:00 am-10:45 am. Eligible swimmers are able to participate in one or both of our three-week sessions. SESSION 1 begins June 17th (June 17th– July 5th) and SESSION 2 begins on July 8th (July 8th-26th). Space is limited! The JR CATS program is $112 per session per student. Although we have no age limit it is important that our swimmers can perform a few basic safety/swimming techniques in order to be eligible for this class. JUNIOR CATS must be able to swim independently in the water and have a high level of confidence while in the pool. It is vital for safety reasons that our JR CATS can navigate their way through the pool without a coach standing next to them. The L2S director reserves the right to move participants to a lower group if necessary. Please refer to our check list of L2S Levels as our JR CATS must be proficient up through the Piranhas level.

Each swim session (one week period) will include 150 minutes of lesson time each week. All fees are nonrefundable. Sessions fees are due PRIOR to the start of each session. Once the pool opens all forms and payments can be dropped off at the front desk of the pool in a clearly marked envelope (CSTC Learn2Swim Program and the students name on the front). Students will have their space confirmed via email only when payment and Family Registration Form is received. The LEARN 2 SWIM Director will determine if a make-up session is needed due to excessive cancellations during a session. Each session is $55 per swimmer. Each class is limited to 5 students per instructor. This will allow more instructional time for each student during their training session.  If we have a group that has exceeds 5 students there will be a second teacher assigned. 

Semi-private group lessons (2-4 students per teacher) and private lessons for children and adults are available and will be conducted outside of the scheduled programs. You are encouraged to contact the director at learn2swimCATS@gmail.com to coordinate.  

You may also want to be added to the email distribution list for updates and openings throughout the summer season! Checks are to be made out to CSTC. GROUP SWIM LESSONS at CSTC are available to CSTC members only.
