200 Free Swim Lessons
The City of Longmont’s Recreation Services annually sponsors 200 free beginner swim lesson sessions for Longmont resident youth 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 years of age or older, 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 have CLOSED for Fall and Winter Swim Lessons, 2024. Â
This program will continue in 2025, and will be opening up early spring for summer swim lessons.
Requests are viewed weekly and applicants are notified via email. Submitting an application does not guarantee a scholarship and/or registration in any class or activity.

- Swim lesson sessions are offered at the Longmont Recreation Center (310 Quail Rd.), the Centennial Swimming Pool (1201 Alpine St.) and the Sunset Pool (1900 Longs Peak Ave.- Summer Only). Morning, afternoon, and weekend options exist.
