These preschool classes are offered to kids 3-5 years old without a parent in the water.
NOTE: the class participant must be a member in good standing to register early and receive any discounts.
Beede Member Registration for Fall Lessons Begin Wednesday, August 6th!
Non-Member Registration for Fall Lessons Begin Wednesday, August 13th!
Due to the fall session being the longest session, fall lessons will be split into two separate sub-sessions. Registration for both sub-sessions (1 and 2) open simultaneously, and registration for one session does not automatically register for the other. If you are interested in taking classes in both sub-sessions, please be sure to register for both classes separately!
