The learn-to-swim program classes are taught by certified American Red Cross Water Safety instructors and are offered during the day Monday through Friday in two-week sessions at all Miami-Dade Parks pools from June 8 through August 14. We also offer evening classes at select locations and these run through September, ages 3 and over.

These types of programs are available:

Tiny Tots – For ages 3 to 6.  This is a water adjustment program where a parent or guardian is required to be in the water, too.

General Learn-to-Swim – For ages 6 years and older.

Adult Classes – Ages 18 and older.
