Free Swim Lessons

Free Swim Lessons Information

The City of Longmont’s Recreation Services annually sponsors free beginner swim lesson sessions for Longmont resident youth (3-17 years old) who do not know how to swim. The goal of this program is to provide more opportunities for youth to learn how to be safe and have fun in and around the water.

To Qualify:

• Be a child, 3 to 17 years of age, in need of beginner swim lessons
• Live within the city limits of Longmont
• Scheduling preference will go to children who haven’t had lessons with the City of Longmont before

Applications are now closed for 2026.

Please check back in for 2027 Free Swim Lesson applications later this year.

Please keep in mind:

• Swim lesson sessions are offered at the Longmont Recreation Center (310 Quail Rd.) and Centennial Swimming Pool (1201 Alpine St.). Morning, afternoon, and weekend options exist.
• All efforts will be made to keep siblings together in the same swim lesson session.
• Free swim lessons are issued on a funds-available basis. Funds are not transferable to any other swim lesson session or other family members.
