Campus Recreation Summer Adventures

There are different max capacities set for each class level. 

We also offer a few select private and semi-private classes (please carefully review class requirements and descriptions for private and semi-private classes prior to registering). 

Children must be at least 3 years old to join our swim program.

If after the first class you feel that your child is in the wrong class/program, we will do our best to place that child in the correct class/program, depending on space capacities. 

Safety Closures
