Welcome to Swim Lessons at Five Points Washington 

The goal of our program is to allow your child to adjust physically and mentally to the water and to develop his/her highest potential. Our classes are designed to be safe, educational and promote values of caring, respect and responsibility. Our Swim Lessons also encompass personal safety, personal growth, stroke development, water sports & games as well as rescue/safety skills.

As parents, we know that you may have questions from time to time. For that reason, we are providing this parent handbook full of information that you will need to know for a successful lesson experience. Please take the time to read and review the handbook.

We hope you and your child enjoy the program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 444-8222 ext. 24.

 Sincerely,

Jane Austin
