Aquatics Program & Pools
Learn-to-Swim Program
The Learn-to-Swim Program is designed to teach children, teens, and adults to swim in a positive, fun, and safe environment. The City of San Diego offers year-round swim lessons emphasizing logical skill progression, water safety awareness, and endurance.
Please see our prerequistes page for classes. Instructors will also assess students’ individual skills and abilities on the first day of class. Students may be transferred to a different class level or be required to repeat a class level.
The Pool Manager should be informed of a student’s special needs before the first class session begins. Fees provide instruction for 5 hours for group rates and 2.5 hours for private lessons.
Please contact the pool of your choice for specific information.
