Can we stay and swim after our lesson?

Unfortunately, extended swimming is not yet available for weekend lessons

Can both parents participate in Parent & Me Lessons?

Space permitting both parents may participate in the class!

Anything else we should know about swim lessons at UVAC?

If you’ve never been here before, when you go back into the locker rooms after being in the warm water… it will feel chillier… but if you bring your towels on deck with you, that will help!
Please review our current Swim Lesson Protocols (Link to protocols page).
