Children's Swim Lessons
VCU RecWell offers children’s swim lessons for participants ages 6 months through 6 years. Lessons are taught by our certified Water Safety Instructors and follow the American Red Cross Swimming & Water Safety program.
Our instructors will work with participants to build fundamental swimming and water safety skills throughout the lessons. Participants will learn the basic skills to stay afloat and move through the water. Instructors will provide hands-on support as needed, based on the participant’s comfort and ability in the water.
Please select a level to see a program description.

A participant may request to transfer their registration to a subsequent program offering within the same registration period. Once a transfer has been approved, no further refunds, credits, or transfers will be approved for the same purchase. No refunds or credits will be provided for missed lessons.
