Swim Lessons at Naval Station Everett

Snohomish County features 5,700 miles of rivers and streams, 400 lakes, and 130 miles of marine shoreline. Be sure you and your loved ones are fully prepared to be safe in and around the water through our Learn-to-Swim program. Our American Red Cross swim lessons are for swimmers ages 4 and older and are taught by ARC-certified instructors. Swim lessons save lives and lessons at the Tsunami Pool are a great, affordable option to ensure everyone is adept at water safety.

Our Learn-to-Swim program is broken into age-appropriate, skills-based learning sessions. Swimmers ages 4 and 5 years old will learn the foundational skills to remain safe in and around the water in our Preschool Levels 1-3. School-age swimmers 6 years old and older learn, refine and build confidence and endurance in the four competitive strokes. Adult Learn-to-Swim is offered to adults of all ages and abilities.
