Instructional Swim

VT Department of Recreational Sports offers quality swimming instruction for any experience level to both children and adults.  Our lessons are based upon the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program and classes are taught by our certified Water Safety Instructors and their aides.  Our program focuses on the strengths and skills needed for swimming, whether developing new skills or refining students’ strokes all while maintaining a low instructor to participant ratio.  If you are looking to become a stronger swimming and develop the skills that will last a lifetime, you have come to the right place!   For additional information on any of these classes, stop by the Rec Sports Office (142 McComas Hall), call (540) 231-9917, or email instruct@vt.edu.
