We are excited to once again offer swim lessons for all ages as well as private and semi-private swim lessons. With a wide range of swimming lesson options for the entire family and convenient class times, you’ll be sure to find something that meets your family’s needs and busy schedule.
General Swim Lessons are for participants who are looking to gain comfort in the water or improve their skills. Lessons are broken down into waves, WAVE A and WAVE B. WAVE A includes levels 1, 2 & 3. WAVE B includes levels 4, 5, & 6. Participants should register for the WAVE that best suits their child's skill level. One the first day of each session, swimmers will go through a brief evaluation to determine which level best fits their skill level. See Levels 1 - 7 descriptions below.
Orientation to an aquatic environment supported floating and kicking on front and back, alternating arm action, and basic water safety rules.
Concentration on exploring deep water, front and back glides (unsupported), and safety practices. Additional focus on back crawl (at least 5 yards), as well as the ability for the child to turn over front to back and back to front.
Increase swimming skill competency, fundamentals of elementary backstroke, exploring deep water, introduction of dives from the side of the pool, and treading water with secondary focus on practicing safety and rescue skills.
Develop confidence and competency in strokes beyond preceding levels. Introduction of breaststroke and sidestroke, deep-water bobbing, diving from the side of pool from stride and standing positions, and turns at the wall.
Continue refinement of front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke and sidestroke. Introduction of butterfly and surface dives, alternate breathing, swimming under water, and open turns on front and back.
Develop maximum efficiency and endurance for strokes, flip turns, tuck and pike surface dives, alternative kicks for treading water, as well as introduction to approach stroke and throwing rescues. Swimmers should be ready for competitive swimming after the completion of this level.

Instructors will be wearing face shields while teaching.
Children must wear a face covering upon arrival and departure. When entering the pool, face coverings are not required in accordance with local health guidelines.
Please limit the number of people who accompany your child to lessons to one adult and only children who are taking part in the lessons. This will help parents maintain appropriate social distancing. Younger siblings will need to stay with their guardian and remain socially distanced from others while at the facility. Parents and siblings are welcome to wait in the designated waiting area, or can drop their participant off and then leave the facility.
Yes, the State of Illinois requires face coverings for all guests entering the facility. Face coverings are not required while swimming or other activities where their face is immersed in water.
The locker rooms and restrooms will be available. However, we encourage guests to come dressed and ready to swim and keep locker room use to a minimum at this time.
For group lessons, participants will be grouped with children from other households. For semi-private lessons, your child may be paired with another swimmer of similar ability. To prevent your child from being paired with other participants in other households, private lessons are available and are an excellent option that can be customized for your swimmer’s needs.
Sea Lion Aquatic Park Swim lessons are determined based on the impact Lisle’s weather has on the safety of our students and instructors. Cancellations will be made if thunder or lightening is spotted in the area, and under certain circumstances for rain in the area. Rain based cancellations are based on lifeguards’ ability to perform their job.
Please call the Daily Pool Update (630-964-3410 ext. 2, 2,2) 30 minutes prior to your lesson time for more information on cancellations for the day.
Sea Lion Aquatic Park Swim lessons are determined based on the impact Lisle’s weather has on the safety of our students and instructors. Cancellations may be made if the weather is below 68 degrees according to the National Weather Service. We understand that the weather may feel cold at or slightly below 68 degrees, but we will still attempt to hold lessons. Refunds will not be given if lessons are being held but you choose not to send your child due to weather related issues. In the event that the temperature falls too low and you are wondering if we will be holding lessons, I encourage you to call the Daily Pool Update: 630-964-3410, ext. 2, 2, 2. This information will be updated each morning as well as throughout the morning if there are any changes to the original update.
