Specialized Swim Lessons - Specialized Swim Lessons- 12:25-12:55pm
This class is designed to accommodate the individual who needs assistance due to diagnosed medical, mental, or psychological disability. The instructor will work with the student one-on-one to accomplish individual goals. For more information on participant eligibility, contact our front desk staff. This class runs once a week for 8 weeks on Saturdays following the same schedule as the Learn to Swim program. Fee to participant is $45 for residents and $55 for non-residents. Please note that we do the best that we can to take on as many students as possible. However, space is very limited and participation in one session does not automatically guarantee space in the next session.
We ask participants to fill out our online form to register. Online forms will need to be filled out for each individual participant. Forms expire annually and will need to be updated after one year. Registration can only be completed during open registration time. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis and is offered to Bristol residents one day in advance of non-Bristol residents. We kindly ask one registration per participant to allow others the opportunity to take the classes as well. There are no exceptions. Management reserves the right to remove students who do not meet the qualifications to take part in specialized lessons. Should you have any questions, we would love to answer them. Please give us a call at (860) 584-3837.

Specialized Swim Lessons - Specialized Swim Lessons- 12:25-12:55pm
This class is designed to accommodate the individual who needs assistance due to diagnosed medical, mental, or psychological disability. The instructor will work with the student one-on-one to accomplish individual goals. For more information on participant eligibility, contact our front desk staff. This class runs once a week for 8 weeks on Saturdays following the same schedule as the Learn to Swim program. Fee to participant is $45 for residents and $55 for non-residents. Please note that we do the best that we can to take on as many students as possible. However, space is very limited and participation in one session does not automatically guarantee space in the next session.
We ask participants to fill out our online form to register. Online forms will need to be filled out for each individual participant. Forms expire annually and will need to be updated after one year. Registration can only be completed during open registration time. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis and is offered to Bristol residents one day in advance of non-Bristol residents. We kindly ask one registration per participant to allow others the opportunity to take the classes as well. There are no exceptions. Management reserves the right to remove students who do not meet the qualifications to take part in specialized lessons. Should you have any questions, we would love to answer them. Please give us a call at (860) 584-3837.

Specialized Swim Lessons - Specialized Swim Lessons- 11:50-12:20pm
This class is designed to accommodate the individual who needs assistance due to diagnosed medical, mental, or psychological disability. The instructor will work with the student one-on-one to accomplish individual goals. For more information on participant eligibility, contact our front desk staff. This class runs once a week for 8 weeks on Saturdays following the same schedule as the Learn to Swim program. Fee to participant is $45 for residents and $55 for non-residents. Please note that we do the best that we can to take on as many students as possible. However, space is very limited and participation in one session does not automatically guarantee space in the next session.
We ask participants to fill out our online form to register. Online forms will need to be filled out for each individual participant. Forms expire annually and will need to be updated after one year. Registration can only be completed during open registration time. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis and is offered to Bristol residents one day in advance of non-Bristol residents. We kindly ask one registration per participant to allow others the opportunity to take the classes as well. There are no exceptions. Management reserves the right to remove students who do not meet the qualifications to take part in specialized lessons. Should you have any questions, we would love to answer them. Please give us a call at (860) 584-3837.
