Learn to Swim: Evening Group Lessons

Learn to Swim: Evening Group Lessons

Group Swim Lessons are offered for kids ages 3-13 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Families can choose between a 5:35pm lesson or a 6:15pm lesson. Sessions run for 4 weeks for a total of 8 lessons. Lessons are 30-minutes in length 

This program utilizes the American Red Cross swim level system. Lessons are focused on life saving skills and becoming comfortable in an aquatic environment in the lower levels, and work up to stroke development and swim team preparation in the upper levels. As part of the CampDoc process (more information below), participants will indicate their swim level. All swimmers are observed on the first day of lessons and may be moved if the level chosen is not appropriate for the swimmer's ability. Consult the if needed.

All lessons are held at the Swasey Indoor Pool, inside the UNH Field House, 145 Main St., Durham, NH. Additional information is sent to enrolled students/families directly from the Aquatics staff before the session start date.

Aquatics staff make every effort to accommodate all lessons as planned. In the event of cancellation due to inclement weather, a make-up session will be scheduled. Participants will be notified via email if the lesson is canceled and rescheduled.

Click the '+' on the block for the session you want to register for, then click "Enroll Now" to add the session to your shopping cart. Repeat this step for as many sessions as you want to register for. Review the Online Registration Instructions before registering for the best outcome. 

If you don't have an account in our system, you can set one up at any time. The Online Registration Instructions link above also provides guidance for creating a new account. Family Accounts are recommended when registering for a youth program. The account should be created in the name of the parent/guardian. Students are added as "members" after the account is created.

If you have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into your Student Account or Family Account after adding the session(s) to your shopping cart. We recommend attempting to log into your account before registration opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while registering. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

Payments are made online at the time of registration. Accepted forms of payment for youth programs are VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Paper checks are accepted only under very limited circumstances (ex: from a school or organization). We do not accept cash payments or e-checks and we cannot take payments over the phone. 

A participant cannot attend a youth program unless they are paid in full. Any participant with an unpaid balance may be locked from future enrollment in any youth program until the balance is paid.

Academic Year Youth Programs

In addition to the program fees, participants in academic year youth programs are subject to a non-refundable $5 registration fee once per student per semester at checkout. This fee supports use of our supplemental registration software.

Refund Procedures

Refund procedures are set by the department running the program. The procedures will be stated on the program webpage. If the session is canceled by UNH before the session start date, a full refund will be issued.

CampDoc is the platform for UNH youth programs to collect registration and health information for participating students.

Within a few days of registering, you will receive an email from "Âé¶¹app via CampDoc" at the address provided during registration prompting completion of the participating student's CampDoc Profile. Families who have participated in a youth program previously will likely already have a CampDoc account. Once you receive this email, a parent/guardian will need to log into the student's account to complete all required questions for the current enrollment(s). Completing the profile early gives UNH staff ample time to finalize program arrangements and provide any necessary follow-up.

A student cannot attend a youth program until their CampDoc Profile is 100% complete. The due date for completing the profile is indicated in both the CampDoc email and while completing the registration questions. If the profile is not complete by that date, the student may be dropped from the program.
