Swim Lessons

Gordon College Swim Program

Students of the Gordon College Swim Lesson Program work towards four main objectives: water comfort, stroke development, personal growth and having fun!

Class levels are determined by age and current skill level. Swimmers will advance to the next level when criteria in the current level have been met. View swim levels →

Swim lessons are open to the general public as well as the Gordon College community.

Our Instructors
