Wright College is an authorized provider of American Red Cross Aquatic Programs. All staff are certified as lifeguards and instructors. We offer classes for both adults and children. Since health and safety is a top priority to us for both our students and instructors, please speak with a doctor before taking a swimming or exercise class.
Our exercise instructors are well trained and will be happy to help you meet set goals. Non-swimmers are welcome!
The American Red Cross has required skills that must be mastered to move up to the next level in the Learn-to-Swim program. If your child did not get the small ARC card, they remain in the same level. Moving your child up a level before they have mastered these required skills places them in danger and in turn slows the next class because they cannot keep up. If your child is transfering from another program, please call and speak to Bobbi Clark to access your child's skill level and where they should be placed.
For Level 1 swim & above, please bring cap and goggles to class. For older students, we offer synchronized swimming, WSI and lifeguard training.
