Swim Lessons

Summer Swim Lessons!!!

The Estes Park Aquatic Center is happy to offer a variety of swim lessons year around!

Our group lessons run on a specially designed curriculum developed especially for our facility. Our swim lessons focus on teaching children not only how to swim, but how to be safe in water as well as giving them the tools to continue swimming as a life time sport.

Our swim lessons are divided into 2 sections: Pre-school and Learn-to-Swim.
