Swim Lesson Levels
Swim lesson levels are based on the participant's age and swimming skills. Swim lessons are progressive, beginning at the preschool level (ages 3-5). The instructor will tell you which lesson to sign up for next. If the participant has not had swimming lessons for more than three months, they should repeat the last level they took as a refresher. Review swim lesson levels for you and your family so you will be ready on registration day.
All classes are 30 minutes long. Please note that swim lesson classes are limited and vary by pool. Not all levels are offered at all times. Private and semi-private lessons are not available.
- Use the Recreation Activity Guide to find and register for activities, including Swim Lessons, offered in each area of Portland.
