Learn to Swim

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


The Harvard Town Beach follows the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program. The program includes Water Tots (typically ages 0-4), Youth swimming levels 1-6 (typically ages 4-17) and Adult Lessons (18+). We run 3 two week long sessions during the summer. If you sign up for more than 1 class you will get a 30% discount (on the additional classes).

* Adult & private lessons are offered in the afternoon and on weekends.
* Each child in the Infant level Water Tots must have an adult in the water with them at all times.
* Each child in the Toddler level Water Tots must have an adult within eye sight/ear shot.
* Classes with minimal registrations may be combined or canceled.
* Non-residents must park at the schools, walk down and leave the beach when lessons are complete.

If you are uncertain, instructors are available at the beach each day from 11am to 5pm to test swimmers for the appropriate level. A swimmer′s level will be adjusted by the instructor during the first week of lessons, if necessary. For questions about swim lessons, contact the Rec Director by email (parksandrec01451@gmail.com) or visit during office hours.
