The Aquatic Zoo is now closed for the season. Please check back in spring 2026 for updated swim lesson dates and registration information.

Should inclement weather occur and one or two classes be cancelled, a make-up date will be announced, or additional time may be added to each remaining class. If more than two classes must be cancelled, partial refunds will be determined at that time.
