Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons can be very beneficial to your child. Not only is swimming a great form of exercise, swimming can be fun. After passing Beginner I and Beginner II your child should be able to swim by themselves safely in the pool. The Crookston Pool requires children to be potty-trained before they start swimming lessons. Most of the Beginner I students are 4 or 5 years old. Every child is different and some children may start earlier or later. To register online click here and e-mail your child's name, age, level, the session you would like, your name, and phone number. You can also register by calling the pool at 281-1180.

Interested swimmers can participate in a two week trial period.
