PLPOA swim lessons are available to PLPOA members. Our program is organized by the Recreation Center where we provide instructors to teach the children specific skills to learn how to swim or refine their strokes. Our swim lessons are for ages 3+. We offer lessons for beginner, intermediate, and advanced swimmers.

Please make sure to register your child for the correct age group and class. Placing swimmers in the right class helps ensure a safe, productive learning environment for all participants and allows out instructors to teach effectively. If a child is registered for a class outside of their age range, we will move them to the correct class as long as space is available. Our goal is to make sure every swimmer is placed where they can learn, progress, and feel confident in the water.
