About our swim classes:
The 2011 Learn to Swim Program will be coordinated and conducted by Merriam Parks and Recreation Aquatic Staff. Experienced Water Safety instructors will teach all lessons. Class sizes are small in order to give your child individualized attention. Each session includes 8 lessons held Monday-Thursday. If necessary, make-up sessions due to inclement weather will be held on Fridays. Call the Aquatic Center at 913-322-5518 for inclement weather updates.
Parents are permitted to observe lessons from the viewing area provided on deck. Evening lessons are conducted while the aquatic center is open to the public. Admission fee or season pass is required for all parents and siblings who wish to swim before, during, or after evening swim lessons. The zero depth pool will be open from 10:30-11:45am during morning swim lessons for parents and children age 8 and under; regular admission fees and policies apply.
