Swim Academy
at LRAC and LRRC
Swimming is a fun way to keep your kids engaged in a physical activity that they can participate in for the rest of their lives. And with our Swim Academy at LRAC and LRRC, we offer a variety of programs for every age, starting as young as 6 months. But don’t let the name of our program throw you. Swim Academy sounds elite and our coaches are certainly tops in their field, but our program is open to all skill levels. From toddlers who exhibit prodigious skill at blowing bubbles in the water to budding competitive swimmers looking to hone their strokes, we have a class for everyone. Find the one that’s right for you here.
