Swim Lessons

Children’s Swim Lessons

Join Astoria Park Conservancy and JH Swimming for our eight- to ten-week swim program for children ages 6 months to 4½ years! Small-group lessons are offered during Spring, Summer (in progress), and Fall to create a supportive environment for young swimmers, with a parent in the pool during each session.

Each 30-minute lesson includes a complimentary soak for the participant and one accompanying adult.

APC Members receive early registration and a 10% discount. 

Classes are based on your child(ren)’s age. Exact times depend on the time of year, but lessons typically begin at 9:30a, 10:00a, and 10:30a.

Trout (3½ –4½ years old)

  • Builds underwater confidence by practicing bubble-blowing and increasing comfort with face-in-the-water skills. 
  • Participants also practice assisted back floats and may attempt underwater submersion to retrieve a toy.

Otters (2–3½ years old)

  • Focuses on assisted back floats, straight-leg kicks, independent pool exits, and bubble-blowing. Children may also practice retrieving a toy underwater.

Beavers (6 months–2 years old)

  • Introduces water acclimation and foundational skills, including assisted underwater submersion, back floats, bubble blowing, and passing children between the parent and the instructor.

Important Reminders:

  • A parent or designated adult must be in the pool with their child for all classes.
  • Each class requires at least two participants. APC reserves the right to combine classes to maximize community impact.
  • Make-up lessons are not guaranteed and are subject to instructor availability.
