Swim School FAQs

Where is the Swim School located?

What safety measures is the Serra Swim School taking in response to the COVID-19 pandemic?

Serra Swim School is excited to be offering essential water safety instruction at our outdoor aquatics facility with several safety measures in place in response to the current pandemic.

All instructors wear face shields (masks are not allowed in the water due to drowning risk), and “touchless teaching” will be done as much as possible.
Temperature checks will be taken at the pool entrance.
One adult for each student is allowed to sit, socially distanced, in the bleachers during class time.
Changing rooms and showers are not available, so students will arrive and leave the facility in their swimsuits.
Restrooms can be used by one person at a time upon request; restrooms are cleaned regularly throughout the day.

How large are your classes?

What experience and training do the swim instructors have?

The Serra Swim School recruits instructors who have Water Safety Instructor certification through the American Red Cross. In addition, highly competent non-WSI trained instructors are also employed by the swim school (WSI certification is available only to individuals 16 years old and older). Regardless of their formal training, all instructors are trained in the methods and philosophy of the Serra Swim School. All instructors are life guard certified and also required to be certified in First Aid and CPR.
