Swimming

Campers’ registration fees include a twenty-five minute block of afternoon Red Cross certified daily swimming lesson, weather permitting. This year we are planning on starting swim lessons the first week of club however because of the cold water temperatures most of these lessons will focus on dryland exercises and swim safety videos. On Mondays at 12:50pm we will conduct swim placement assessments for new campers. If you are returning to swim lessons from last year or the year prior, we ask that your swimmers return to the level that they left off in. If you are not sure what level that was we have records for the last two years and can assist with correct placement. On the www.bayviewassociation.org/swimming/ page there are also quick references for the swimming skills that will be covered in each swim Level. Please recognize that class sizes will fluctuate throughout the summer as family members arrive and depart Bay View and the daily timeline listed below may change based upon attendance. This fluctuation sometimes causes us to have to slow down, step back, and review previous instruction. Our goal is that everyone involved in lessons learns to safely enjoy the water. If you feel your swimmer needs some extra attention or focus to move to the next level, private lessons are available.

Campers and others may register for private instruction here. Once you’ve registered for a swim lesson someone on the swim staff will reach out to you to assign an instructor and coordinate a time for your lesson. Please note that we will not be able to offer certified and non-certified private Red Cross swim lessons until July 13^th. Up until that time, the water temperatures and necessary lifeguard certification and recertification training won’t allow us to offer any private lessons from 3-5pm.
