Registration for swim lessons at Dimond Park Aquatic Center opens September 18

Dimond Park Aquatic Center will offer several swim lesson sessions this fall for preschool & youth age groups. Each session lasts five weeks with eight lessons in total.

Registration will open on Monday, September 18 at noon. To register, visit the Parks & Recreation online registration catalog and click on the Juneau Pools tab. Registrations will not be taken over the phone, in person, or in advance. All classes cost $80 (tax included) for 8 lessons.

Swimmers must be evaluated for swimming skills by DPAC staff before they are able to register for classes at Levels 2, 3, and 4. All swimmers interested in registering for upper-level classes are invited to the Swim Lessons Exposition on Sunday, September 17 any time between 3 – 4 p.m. Evaluations will take less than ten minutes per child in the pool.

Please note that swimmers who took lessons at DPAC in May, June or July 2023 do not need to attend the Lessons Exposition. Children with little or no water experience should enroll in Level 1 classes and do not need to be evaluated.

Lessons are thirty minutes long and take place Monday and Wednesday evenings. Classes are offered between 3 p.m. and 6:20 p.m.; see the registration portal for a detailed schedule.

• Session 1: October 2 – October 30 (no class on October 18)
• Session 2: November 13 – December 11 (no class on November 22)

Preschool classes are open to children ages 3-5 and youth classes to ages 6-12. Classes are limited in ratio based on the age of the students. See the Juneau Pools website for complete class level descriptions.
