A variety of creative and educational classes are offered for your child’s physical, mental, social and emotional development! All classes are taught by qualified professionals. All children’s swim classes at Lakeview, Lincoln Square, West Loop and Lincoln Park locations are open to members and non-members.
Where do you place your child?
The group swim instructors reserve the right to move a child into the appropriate class and/or class level if the child is placed in the wrong class and/or class level by the parent. If space is not available in the requested class, the child will be placed on a wait list and we will contact you when a spot opens up. You will not be charged until your child starts his/her lessons. It is very important that you read about the class levels and place your child accordingly. If unclear on the levels, please email Monika Suto at msuto@chicagoathleticclubs.com for more information.
