Swimming lessons are open to children who have completed kindergarten and are currently enrolled in Hudson schools. Fees are $20 per student, per two-week session. All classes are registered on a first-come, first serve basis, and after classes are filled, registration will be closed.

The fee for Lifeguard training is $125. The training is June 15-26. To be eligible, the student must be at least 15 by June 15. Proof of age is required at registration.

The Water Safety Instructor training is from June 29-July 10 from 2-4 p.m., and the cost is $175. To be eligible for water safety training, a student must be at least 16 years old by the date of the first class and be able to swim 500 yards continually using the front crawl and to perform all strokes.
