Swimming Lessons

With Joseph Aiello and Haley Lake

Swimming lessons are a rite of passage for so many North Fork children. Our learn to swim program offers instruction to children starting at age 4, who are eligible to earn a Red Cross Certificate upon successful completion of the program.
Sorry…Rain dates will not be rescheduled
Cost: Residents:    $60/person
Non-Residents:    $65/person

The lessons are offered in two separate two-week programs at two separate beaches:
Sessions A through F are offered at Veteran’s Memorial Beach in Mattituck starting on July 6 and finishing on July 17. 
Sessions G through L are offered at Founders Landing in Southold starting on July 20 and finishing on July 31.

Special Notice about Park District beach use: Veteran's Beach is under the jurisdiction of the Mattituck Park District and Founders Landing is under the jurisdiction of the Southold Park District. Access to these beaches requires a park district resident permit. If you are not a resident of the park district of the beach where your swim lesson is taking place, you will not be permitted to remain at the beach after your child's lesson is over for the day. The park districts provide access to these beaches for swim lessons as a courtesy to the Town. We ask all participants to respect the Mattituck Park District's and Southold Park District's rules regarding beach use. Please see a Park District Beach Attendant for the complete rules for non-park district resident use of their facilities.
