learn 2 swim

WELCOME to the 2024 CATS LEARN 2 SWIM LESSON SEASON!  We are pleased to offer several 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, and weekly swimmer progress reports!

Group swim lessons will begin on Monday, June 17th through the beginning of August.  Each group session will include 150 minutes of lesson time each week.  Our goal is to keep class size small (6 to 1 ratio) to create an environment that allows our students to feel supported and comfortable to grow at their own pace.  Space is limited, and our online sign-up will close 48 hours prior to the start of each weekly session.  ALL GROUP LESSONS are conducted in one-week segments and will run Monday- Friday unless noted.  Adjustments for pool closures and weather cancelations will be considered, and those swimmers will attend our August make-up date as needed.  The Learn 2 Swim Director will determine if a make-up session is needed due to excessive cancelations during a session due to weather-related closings.  Each weekly lesson is $75 per swimmer.  All fees are nonrefundable. 

Private and Semi-private group lessons for children and adults are available during the summer at CSTC.  These lessons will be conducted outside of the scheduled programs.  You are encouraged to contact the director at learn2swimCATS@gmail.com to coordinate.  Lessons are for CSTC members only! 

Our JUNIOR CATS swim program is back in 2024!  The JUNIOR CATS is a swim group that practices during the evening and is open for students that have either aged out of or have graduated from our group lessons skills.  Practices are 30 minutes and will run four days a week for three continuous weeks.  JUNIOR CATS members must be able to perform a few basic safety/swimming techniques to be eligible for this class.  Participants must be able to swim independently in the water and have a high level of confidence while in the pool.  For safety reasons, our swimmers must navigate their way through the pool without a coach standing next to them.  Students must be able to swim multiple lengths of the pool during class while unassisted to participate in the group.  The L2S director reserves the right to move participants out of this group if necessary. 

Registration is going LIVE, VIRTUALLY, on Friday, June 7th, at 8 p.m.! The link to sign up will be in your member portal. See the schedule below under "Learn2Swim Information".

Each class is limited to 6 students per instructor. This will allow more instructional time for each student during their training session. If we have a group that exceeds 6 students, an assistant teacher will be assigned.  

Please feel free to contact the CATS LEARN 2 SWIM program director, Coach Karen, with any questions throughout the summer.  learn2swimCATS@gmail.com.
