Swim Lessons 

Swim Lessons at The Salvation Army Kroc Center of Philadelphia have been put on hold until further notice due to a shortage of lifeguards that are certified for providing swim lessons. Thank you for your patience as we work on building our Aquatics staff.

Youth Requirements

  • Arrive early to check-in and familiarize your child with the facility. Please have your child ready for class at the start of the lesson time.

  • Group lessons are 25 minutes, followed by 5 minutes for transition and parent communication unless otherwise noted.
  • Check-in at the swim lesson table when you first walk onto the pool deck.
  • Have your child go to the bathroom before lessons. Children who are not potty trained must wear a swim diaper and plastic pants (available for purchase at the Front Desk) to prevent bathroom incidents in the pool.
