"Pre-School-Swim" and "Learn-to-Swim" Class Levels 1-4 are available through an open enrollment system!
Learn-to-Swim Program
Welcome to the UMD RSOP AQUATICS - “Learn-to-Swim” Program. Every swimmer is different and we encourage all swimmers to develop their skills at their own pace and comfort.
We use an “Open Enrollment” format in our swim lessons. This means that our staff of Lifeguards and Water Safety Instructors will assess and assign participants to the appropriate level of instruction on the first day of class. We design our swim class progression to help participants reach their goals and provide a clear developmental track. For those who will be registering their children for these lessons, you will select a day and time for your child and our pool staff will determine the appropriate group & instructor for them.
Benefits of this approach include:
- Accommodating students of varying abilities and ages
- Fostering a sense of achievement and self-confidence
- Staying grounded in a skill continuum that allows students to move easily from one stage to the next
- Encouraging students to have fun and develop new friendships through group activities
- Improving communication about student’s progress
Students can register for sessions based on times & days. Most sessions include 6, 30 minute classes for $65.00. Weekday sessions are scheduled twice a week (either M/W or T/Th) and run for 3 weeks. Saturday sessions are scheduled once a week and run for 6 weeks.
Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons
Students can register for sessions based on times & days. Most sessions include 6, 30 minute classes for $180.00 ($30 per lessons). For those who will be registering their child/children for these lessons, you will select a day and time for your child and our pool staff will determine the appropriate instructor for them.
You can have 2 children in each lesson but a 1 on 1 experience is highly recommended.
There are changing rooms off of the pool deck for children to change individually. There are family changing areas in the hallway leading into the pool. All changing areas are equipped with showers and bathrooms. There is a viewing area off the pool deck where parents are to stay during the swim lesson.
Thank you for letting us work with your child and we look forward to seeing them grow.
