Group Swim & Dive Lessons
Learn to Swim Program
Our aquatics program is designed to teach personal water safety and stroke development to youth and adults alike. Sessions are typically grouped in eight class bundles. This gives students time to build confidence, explore the water and hone skills at their own pace. No matter what age or skill, we have a program for you or your child.
- Registration opens on the last Wed of the preceding session.
- Summer AM lessons are outside; PM & Sun lessons are inside.
The Fine Print
Due to the nature of our scheduling, there are no make-up sessions and there are no refunds. Outdoor classes are held rain or shine – we will instruct out of the pool during inclimate weather.
This information is provided within Jackrabbit – the program you have used to register for class. Visit the Parent Portal for important updates and news in the event of any class schedule changes.

Weekday
AMs
Classes are divided by swimmer skill. Each one-hour lesson is split in to 30 minutes of instruction time, followed by 30 minutes of social/free-play time. During Free-play time students will explore the water independently. If the child is 5 and under and can’t swim 25 yards by themselves, they will be put into a flotation device for their protection.
See level descriptions, or use the “Which Level Should I Register For?” tool – both located above – for info on level placements.

Emma Weisgerber
I am so excited to start as the lessons coach at Worthington for the summer! I have been the head coach for Highland’s competitive summer team for two years, and this will be my first year with Worthington. I dove for Westerville North High School where I set the record for the girls’ 6 dive score across the district. I also dove club for OSDC/ACES. I just finished my freshman year at the University of Indianapolis, where I was on the dive team there as well. This fall I will be attending Ohio State University, and I will be studying psychology, biology, and American Sign Language on the pre-med track.
