Fees: $40 per person ($5 city resident discount)
Individual Lessons are scheduled on an individual basis. They will last for 30 minutes. For more information or to schedule a lesson contact a pool manager after May 23 at 704-920-5604.

Class Information
The Aquatics Center uses the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program for instruction. Please read the following descriptions to select the class that is appropriate for your student. If in doubt, it is better to place your student in a lower level where he/she is comfortable than in a higher level where he/she may struggle.
The aquatic staff reserve the right to move a student to another level if his/her skills do not match the class he/she is enrolled in.
Parent/Child, Preschool, and Level 1 classes meet for 30 minutes. Levels 2 through 6 meet for 45 minutes. There is typically a playtime the last 5 minutes of class. All classes are progressive. Students must perform the skills of one level before moving into the next level. Students are not expected to pass a level in only one session. Please check with the instructor before registering your child for the next level.
Parent/Child: For children 18 months through 2 years of age. Parents will be in the water with their children. Classes meet for 30 minutes Monday –Thursday for one week.
Fee is $20.00 with a $5.00 discount for City Residents.
Fees for the following classes:
$40.00 per person per session
$5.00 discount for City of Concord Residents
Pre-school: These classes are for 3 and 4 year olds with little or no experience in the water. If your child has experience in the water he/she may register for the appropriate Level 1 or 2 class.
Level 1: Students with minimal water experience will be asked to put their face in the water and begin to experience floating on their front and back with support. They will also learn alternating arm action.
Level 2: Students will begin floating on their own and by the completion of the level will be able to swim 5 yards on their front and back.
Level 3: Front crawl, back crawl and elementary backstroke will be introduced and practiced. Students will also learn how to tread in deep water.
Level 4: Deep water swimming at longer distances is practiced. To pass this level the student must be able to swim 25 yards crawl stroke using rotary breathing as well as 25 yards of backstroke.
Levels 5 & 6: Upper level classes cater to the experienced swimmer. Breaststroke, sidestroke and butterfly will be learned and endurance will be increased. This is great preparation for GuardStart or a Lifeguard Class.
Adult Clases: If you have never learned to swim or you would like to improve your strokes and endurance this class is for you. Classes will be in the evening in an “adult only” setting. Adult classes meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays for four weeks.

Cancellations - Our schedule does not always allow for make-up classes due to absenteeism, weather, emergency or maintenance closings, however extra time will be added to a session when possible. Recreation staff will contact participants to advise of any cancellations prior to start time. Occasionally insufficient registrations may result in class changes or cancellations.
It can still be raining and not cancel swim lessons. If it is raining and the guard can still see the bottom of the pool, we will not cancel swim lessons. If the bottom of the pool is not visible, we will cancel the lesson. Anytime there is a thunder or lightning storm, lessons will be postponed. If there is thunder or lightning during the lesson, it will be canceled.

“Our children have always looked forward to swimming lessons and are sad when they are finished. All I can say is thank you! I am certain that we are not the only family experiencing the wonderful staff and facility at McInnis. Please tell the young adults at McInnis that they are appreciated and have taught our children an important life skill.” ........Scott S
