Group Swim Lessons/Classes (Child through Adult)
The Severna Park Community Center's swim lesson program is based on well-regarded, nationally-accredited programs. Using a pediatrician-recommended, developmentally sound philosophy, we promote water safety, elementary swimming skills and stroke refinement through progressive, focused instruction. We cater to anyone interested in recreational or competitive swimming.
Our instructors are credentialed through the Red Cross Water Safety Instruction Certificate (or equivalent experience) and attend in-house clinics to learn best practices, master new teaching techniques and share creative lesson plans.
Refunds & Cancellations
Refunds are not given unless a session is cancelled. Credits for medical conditions are considered and are only valid 6 months from the issue date. Individual classes cancelled due to inclement weather or pool maintenance/repair will be rescheduled.

The Severna Park Community Center will charge an annual registration fee of $25 per person (maximum of $50 per family), to help with system upgrades and ongoing building maintenance & repairs. The fee will be charged just one time annually, and will be good for 12 months from the date paid. Following the emergency pool renovations last month, we realize that at twenty-five years old, the possibility of repairs, emergency or other, are going to increase. Thank you for helping us to keep this center a place where you can safely gather, play, grow, and thrive!
