2024 Belwood Swim Lessons

Belwood is excited to be offering Swim Lessons again this summer! We provide quality classes from skilled, certified instructors and offer a wide range of classes to meet all swimmers' needs and offer both private and group lessons. Class sizes are small to ensure all students are given ample attention. Classes run Monday- Friday for 30 minutes. And the best part is you do not have to be a Belwood resident for swim lessons. All sessions run for two weeks. If you cannot make one of the two weeks, we will do our best to accommodate your child in another session if space is available.

If our session dates do not align with your summer schedule, please contact swimlessons@belwoodhomes.org to arrange for private lessons with our belwood swim staff.

**Notice to all lifeguards/swim coaches and members of the Belwood community:  hosting swim lessons are only permitted through the coordination of the pool manager and require a pool rental fee (fees vary by class size) and proof of insurance.
