SWIM LESSONS
Swim lessons will be in the water with instructor. If you prefer another method due to COVID concerns, please visit other City Parks and Recreation departments as they may offer out of the water swim lessons.
Stanislaus County Police Activities League is happy to offer youth swim lessons. Our goal is to teach basic personal water safety information and skills to help each individual feel comfortable in the water. We offer levels Pre-Schoo-2 so students will have an opportunity to progress through our Learn to Swim Program and build knowledge and water skill. See below for additional information.
