Swim lessons often are a child's first experience with learning to move in the water.  WAAC's swim lessons provide children with the mechanics needed to learn formal strokes.  Competitive or advanced swimmers may also want to take lessons to improve their strokes or achieve a specific goal.  While the many of WAAC's swim lessons are for beginners, lessons can be arranged for all ages and abilities.  All of WAAC's swim instructors teach with patience and a positive attitude.
