Gym-Ken’s goal is to produce safe, skilled and happy swimmers while building self-esteem and a love for the water. We are committed to provide professional swim instruction in a nurturing, safe and fun environment.

We are offering 4 different sessions for the summer beginning on June 30th. These ½ hour lessons will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday for 2 consecutive weeks. The cost per session is $138.00. You can sign up for as many sessions as you like. There is a $15.00 registration fee for new students only.

Due to many requests over the past few years, we have added some late afternoon/early evening classes!  These will fill fast so don’t hesitate!  For these classes, we are excited to be adding Miss Krystle to our already outstanding staff!  Miss Krystle brings with her countless years of experience with all ages and abilities.
