CABANA SWIM LESSONS - REGISTRATION OPENS April 2025

ACC is a not-for-profit cabana and therefore not in the swim school business. However, we do offer summer seasonal instruction for a variety of skills – from those completely new to the water to those who are competitive swimmers. The primary purpose for this offering is to teach our membership's children and those of our local community to be water safe. We also hope to prepare more children for our swim team program, the Almaden Dolphins (members only).

Our swim lessons program manager, Bella Hertzig, is a returning Swim Lessons Instructor. Bella grew up in our community, swimming for the Dolphins until she graduated from Leland High School in 2024. This summer is her 1st season managing the Swim Lesson Program at the Cabana. She is looking forward to teach the next generation of young swimmers, as well as continuously developing the swim lesson program for this year and future summers.

Regular sessions are all 30 minutes long and are offered Monday-Friday. Please see further below for level descriptions and lesson offerings. Additional private lessons and custom sessions are available upon request and based on swim instructor availability. For any questions, please contact our Swim Manager.

Group lessons will be of 3:1 (three students to one swim instructor) in order to give ample time to each student.
