Swimming Lessons In Chicago | CAC Swim Lessons

Swimming is one of the best full-body exercises available. Using the resistance of water, swimming provides excellent cardiovascular and strength training as you build endurance. This comes with the added benefit of keeping low levels of impact, stress, and strain on your body. When it comes to children's swim lessons and exercises, this can help them stay safe near water and give you peace of mind each time they hit the pool. The Chicago Athletic Clubs' multiple, state-of-the-art pools offer many opportunities for lap swimming, water exercise classes, and private swim instruction. Our certified swim instructors in Chicago and Evanston work with individuals of every age and swim experience level. Looking to learn more?

Which Swim Class Is Right For My 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 waitlist 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.
