Swim Lesson Descriptions
Welcome to Westminster Swim Lessons! Our Swim Lessons are in partnership with the Starfish Swimming Institute. These swim lessons are split into 6 different levels, and are designed to prepare you for our Flippers Swim Team. Goggles are recommended for all levels of swim lessons (excluding Parent & Tot).
