Swim Lessons

Introduce your child to the joy of swimming with the City of Dixon’s summer swim lesson program! Swim lessons are offered at the Pat Granucci Aquatics Center in two-week sessions. City staff will make every effort to ensure swimmers are in the appropriate swim class by assessing on the first day and grouping swimmers based on skill levels. Class changes may be made at the beginning of each swim session to provide a more efficient class.

Check back in Spring 2024 for an updated schedule!
