Swim Lessons
Knowing how to swim is a skill that could save your life. At The Rookery Activity Center, we have created a safe and secure aquatic center to bring year-round water safety and swim lessons to the community.
Our highly trained and certified swim instructors lead comprehensive swim lessons designed for both children and adults, focusing on developing essential swimming skills that foster self-confidence both in and out of the water.
The Rookery's pools maintain a comfortable average temperature of 87°F in the splash pool and 82°F in the lap pool, creating an environment that promotes enjoyable and confident swimming experiences, particularly for our younger swimmers. Join us for lessons, where fun meets safety, and make a splash while acquiring a life-saving skill!
