The Crystal Lake Park District Swim School is offering swim lessons this summer at Main Beach, located at 300 Lakeshore Drive, Crystal Lake. The lessons are available Monday through Friday, with morning and evening sessions, and are open to ages from 18 months to adults. The program includes seven levels of instruction, allowing participants to advance at a comfortable pace with certified instructors.

For the youngest participants, the program offers 'Guppies' sessions for children aged 18 months to 3 years, accompanied by a parent. These sessions aim to make infants and toddlers comfortable in the water using games and drills. The sessions are scheduled throughout June and July, with specific morning times and evening options.

The school provides structured group lessons across various skill levels, from 'Tadpoles' for beginners to 'Sharks' for advanced swimmers. Each level builds on the previous one, from basic water skills to advanced techniques and endurance. For example, Level 1 - Tadpoles, focuses on submerging, floating, and safety for beginners aged 3 and up. Higher levels, like Level 6 - Dolphins and Level 7 - Sharks, concentrate on stroke refinement and endurance.

Private lessons are also available for those who prefer individual instruction. These 30-minute sessions are open to ages 3 and up and offer personalized attention to improve swimming skills. The private lessons consist of eight classes.
