What is the Learn to Swim Program?
The Learn to Swim Program was offered at BYU-Idaho for many years and is now being brought back as a way to help local young people learn important and possibly life-saving skills.
General Information
Swimmers and parents will enjoy a clean indoor swimming facility with qualified staff. Parents can view swim lessons from the observation deck. Sanitized locker rooms, swim suits, and towels are provided (or swimmers may wear their own suits). Each swim lesson is one hour long, and each swim session lasts for two weeks. Swimmers may sign up for as many sessions as they like. Each class will have two swim instructors and approximately ten swimmers per class.
