Swim Lessons
About Our Lessons
Public health authorities and all of us at the City of Santa Rosa realize how important swim lessons are for teaching your children to be safe in, on, and around the water. Swim lessons in our heated pools teach children life-saving skills and allow them to stay healthy and active. COVID-19 safety precautions have been incorporated into our swim lesson programs to ensure a safe and beneficial experience for you and your child.
