Safe Starts Program 

Safe Starts is a new parent & child water confidence program designed to introduce children and their families to swimming in a supportive, low-pressure environment. This program encourages students to learn with and from their parent or guardian while slowly incorporating more independence and group-like participation. 

This program targets families who have been hesitant to enroll in traditional swimming lessons or whose children may benefit from additional support before entering a standard group lesson. Each class will consist of 3 to 5 students, each accompanied by one parent or guardian, and instruction provided by a certified swimming instructor. 

DPAC Classes & Schedule 

Preschool Levels 1-3 (ages 3 to 5), Youth Levels 1-4 (ages 6 to 12), and Adult (13+) lessons will run from September 1 through 24 on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $96 plus tax. Preschool and Youth lessons will be between 3:30 and 7 p.m., and Adult lessons will be from 7:15 to 8 p.m. 

Parent and Tot and Safe Starts will be held on Saturdays from September 12 through October 17 between 9:15 and 10:30 a.m. for $72 plus tax. Parent and Tot lessons are for children ages 6 months to 3 years, and Safe Starts will have both a Preschool and Youth group.
