Indoor Swimming
Lessons
Using an enhanced swim lesson curriculum, our swim instructors provide children with focused instruction through private and small group lessons. Private lessons or small group lessons (with a maximum of 3–4 children per group) give your child the additional attention needed to develop their swimming skills. All swim instructors wear face shields to protect your child and themselves.
Indoor swimming lessons are available year-round at The Club at Prairie Stone (5050 Sedge Boulevard). Students will become confident in the water and refine their strokes to swim efficiently. Hoffman Estates Park District offers lessons for all ages, from Parent-Tot to Adults. Members of The Club at Prairie Stone receive resident rates!
- We strongly encourage swim participants to attend on the scheduled day and time. Make-up classes are not available, and refunds will not be issued after the class start date.
