Swimming Lessons The Stratford Lions Pool offers high quality swim lessons in four 2-week sessions throughout the summer. The first session begins July 4th. There are over 75 available times per session to enroll in swim lessons.
Our facility offers swimming lessons using the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. If you or your child has taken swimming lessons in another program, (i.e.: YMCA, I Can Swim, Lifesaving Society), you can find out what the equivalent course is in the Red Cross program. For more information on the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program, including other program comparisons, please view our Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Lesson Program Information Guide.
A full lesson schedule, including descriptions of swim courses, and what will be learned in each level, can be viewed in our Recreation Activity Guide.
