Looking for swim lessons? Check out our sister facility, Powell Wellness Center in Culpeper! Lessons in the indoor aquatic arena for children are open to the public. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swim lessons for children as a “layer of protection” to prevent drowning. In addition to serving as a key component of water safety, swim lessons can introduce children to a fun physical activity that they may enjoy for years to come.

During PWC’s group lesson program for children, the following classes are typically offered: Parent & Child (ages 6 months – 3 years), Preschool Aquatics (ages 3-5 years), and Learn to Swim (ages 6 – 13 years).

Classes for children support the needs of never-ever swimmers as well as young swimmers progressing in their skills. The learning environment focuses on building skills in a fun way while also focusing on water safety – important knowledge for swimmers in order to help themselves or others in an aquatic emergency.

Instructor to participant ratio is kept low in order to provide the best learning environment. Parent & Child classes and the LTS level 3 & 4 have a 1 to 6 ratio, the Preschool levels 1-3 and LTS levels 1 & 2 have a 1 to 4 ratio.
