Swim Lessons
The Kankakee Valley Park District’s swim lesson program is for swimmers of all ages. On the first day of lessons
parents will receive a parent manual which explains each of the levels in depth, and gives information on each
specific level. Due to the limited amount of space on our pool deck, parents will be asked to sit in the concessions area. For those who have been in a previous swim lesson program, please sign your child up for lessons according to a previous swim lesson report card. Before registering for a swim lesson, review your child’s previous lesson history and age limitations of class. Classes fill quickly and transferring from one level to another is not always possible. If you have questions, please ask at the Registration Desk. Registration will close 3 business days prior to the start of the class. Please note the time and dates of your lesson. No refunds or make-ups will be given for classes missed or forgotten. The park district reserves the right to combine class levels if
deemed appropriate.
