Registration Policy

Registration for all programs is taken on a first come, first served basis.

lesson is cancelled participants may transfer to another program, receive a credit toward a

different Nevada City Parks & Recreation program or receive a full refund.

All registrations require payment. No spaces will be held without payment.

Goal of

Nevada City

Swim Lessons

The goal of our

swim lessons is to

teach children how

to be safe in and

around water,

therefore safety

lessons are taught

each day along with

swimming skills.

Children who know

how to swim &

understand the

dangers of water

are less likely to

become a drowning

victim. Instructors

strive to build on

skills each day to

improve the

swimmers

movement,

breathing and

strength. As

students increase

skills, they will be

taught competition

strokes and turns.

Please let us know

in advance if you

have special

requests, so we can

schedule an

appropriate

instructor.

Swim Lesson Sessions 1 - 4 take place MondayThursday for 2 weeks and each lesson is 1/2 hour.

Dates and times are included on the chart below.

Mini Session

The mini session is a training session for our new employees. This session will only run for one (1) week,

MondayThursday and lessons will be 1/2 hour. There are limited spaces available during this session.

Fee: $22

Level A - Parent/Toddler (1-2 yrs)

Level A introduces basic skills that lay a foundation to help toddlers learn to swim. The focus is on helping

the child feel comfortable in the water, explore submerging & buoyancy. Please note: Swim diapers are

required for all children who are not potty trained. Fee: $55

Level B - Parent/Toddler (3-4 yrs)

Level B builds on the skills from Level A. Participants improve on these skills and learn more advanced

skills, such as breath control, floating and leg and arm action. Please note: Swim diapers are required for

all children who are not potty trained. Fee:$55

Group Lessons

The first day of lessons children will be given a swim assessment to determine class placement. Students

with similar abilities will be placed in a group together. If children are taking lessons during more than

one session, they will be re-assessed each session. It is very important that children attend the first day of

lessons, so that all children are placed in an appropriate class. Fee: $55

Private Lessons

Private lessons are for adults & children. The instructor will teach according to the level of the swimmer.

Up to 3 people may be in one lesson time slot, as long as they are all at the same swim level. Private
