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.
