Sessions
Group lessons are offered in morning and evening sessions!
The morning sessions run Monday through Thursday for two weeks.
The evening sessions run Monday and Wednesday nights for four weeks.
Classes for levels 1-6 are 40 minutes long, while Parent & Child and Preschool levels 1-3 are 30 minutes long.
Inclement Weather
Always expect to show up for class, regardless of weather. Lessons will not be cancelled.
In case of unsafe swimming conditions due to weather, we will hold Safety Days in our party room. If the weather improves during the lesson time, the class will be taken into the water.
Safety Days cover essential safety topics typically addressed during lessons, with additional sessions schedules if severe weather persists throughout the session.
Fees
First two children/class: $80 each for pool members & $95 each for non-members.
Third child (or more)/class: $70 each for pool members & $85 each for non-members.
The discount is cumulative for each FAMILY during the summer.
Skills
During your swimmer's class, you can expect that our swim lesson program covers basic fundamental skills like bobbing underwater, various strokes, jumps, kicks, floats, engaging games, and activities. Participants also utilize other pool features for a comprehensive aquatic experience and advance participants learn diving board techniques.
Swimming during/after lessons
Starting at 10am, families waiting for a swimmer to finish lessons can swim. However, after the lesson concludes, please scan your membership card or purchase a daily admission pass to continue using the facility.
Swimming Lesson Levels
Please use the descriptions below as a reference for registering your child for swim lessons! If you are unsure between a few levels, we suggest registering your child in the lower of the two levels; It is always easier to move them ahead than it is to move them back!
Private Swim Lessons
Private lessons are available for any age and ability.
Five lessons $115/Member or $135/Non-Member
All lessons are 30 minutes long and can be scheduled with the instructor at your convenience.
Please sign up and pay online at: https://burlingtoncommunitypool.activityreg.com/
Once registration is complete, an instructor will contact you after June 16th, 2025, to set up your lessons.
Scheduling Privates
Private swim lessons are scheduled based on instructor availability. Your lesson will be arranged before the end of the season, but please be patient as coordinating the high volume of lessons takes time. While many pools have a waiting period of over six months, we complete our lessons within the three short months we are open.
Once registration is complete, an instructor will contact you after June 16th, 2025, to set up your lessons.
Additional Lessons or Refunds
Before registering for additional private lessons, please confirm with your instructor that they have the availability to accommodate you. If our instructors are unable to coordinate a suitable time, you will receive a full refund.
Concerns/Questions
Speak with instructors directly about questions regarding your swimmer before or after lessons.
