Summer Swim Registration

 

Hello Lil' Swimmers! 🐬

We’re thrilled to welcome you back for our 29th season of swimming fun! Here’s everything you need to know to get started this year:

Class Options

We offer three types of classes:

• Semi-Private
  These can function as one-on-one private lessons, but two lessons happen in the pool at the same time—each with a separate instructor.

• Family Group
  Great for sibling, cousins or close friends of different abilities learning together!

• Mommy & Me
  Perfect for our littlest swimmers (6 months - to 3 years old) to enjoy the water alongside a parent or caregiver.

👉 For detailed descriptions and pricing, please click the "Class Options" tab above.

Choosing Your Class

Once you've picked the type of class you’re interested in, head over to the "Schedule" tab to view this summer’s available weeks and time slots.

Registration Info

🗓 Registration opens Thursday, May 8th at 8:30 PM (EVENING).

We’ve chosen this time to avoid most extracurricular conflicts while still being early enough for those with early bedtimes.

At 8:30 PM, the registration FORM will go live. Simply click this link, fill in your preferred dates and times, and you’ll be done in about 2 minutes!

What Happens Next?

Over the following 48 hours, we’ll fill classes on a first-come, first-served basis using the timestamp from the submitted form. You’ll receive a confirmation email with your class time, payment details, and any additional information.

We can’t wait to see you in the pool this summer! 💦

Let’s make our 29th season the best one yet!

2025 Swim Lessons

The sun is starting to shine, the days are getting longer and it's warming up..... a little :)  Cathy's School for Lil' Fish WILL be offering lessons this summer.  We teach in a heated, outdoor pool so we only offer lessons June - August.  We will be working with our teachers over the next month to put together our summer 2025 schedule.  Please check back here after April 15th to see our schedule and for information about when we'll be opening up registration.  Happy Spring!!!!

All classes cancelled for today

 We really hate to do this, but the combination of winds, low temperatures, clouds and possibly rain is a miserable start to swim classes so we are cancelling our 9-12 classes this morning and will do makeup lessons this Friday, June 21st.  Feel free to call us if you have questions.

UPDATE:  We are also cancelling all classes today.  Makeup lessons will be held Friday, June 21, so we are planning on Tuesday-Friday this week for all classes 9-6:30.

Several swim spots available July 8-18, July 22-25 and July 29-Aug. 1

               

             It's not too late to sign up.  Just give us a call and we can let you know the specific times available and cost.

 Don't wait!  Jump on these new swim spots added!

Still time!

 If you think you missed your opportunity to register for swim lessons......you didn't!!!  Although our evening classes are full, there are still plenty of options between 9:00 and 3:00 in our semi-private lessons.  Click on the schedule tab at the top of the page to see what's available and then click on http://www.boiseswimminglessons.com/p/registration.html to register!  We look forward to seeing you all poolside.  

One change to our summer schedule 2024

 Please note this change to our posted swim schedule!!! Our first day of lessons was posted as, Monday, May 27th, but that is Memorial day so we will begin lessons, Tuesday, May 28th and have lessons that week through Friday, May 31st. The second week of that session will meet Monday-Thursday as usual, finishing on Thursday, June 6th! Please take this into account if you are planning on signing up for that first session.

Summer 2024 Swim Lessons

Swimmers!  We are looking forward to seeing you all again.  We have some good news.  With the cost of everything going up, Cathy’s School for lil Fish is actually lowering the cost per class of our semi-private swim lessons this summer.  We found that private swimming lessons were highly effective for our students but were more expensive and decreased the number of spots available for students so this year we are offering more options!  Depending on your family’s needs, you can choose to book either 1-week sessions of lessons or 2-week sessions (lessons are held Mon – Thurs each week).  We will offer three different kinds of lessons:

1. Semi-Private lessons

2. Family Group Lessons

3. Mommy & Me Classes

In place of private lessons, we are slightly altering our lessons to be semi-private.  What that means is your student will still have 1 on 1 instruction (or 1 on 2 if you choose), but there will be another class (same size) in the pool at the same time.  For example, your 2 beginner swimmers could work with one teacher and your intermediate student could be working with another teacher during the same 15-minute lesson in another part of the pool.  That shortens your time poolside, reduces each class tuition by 20% and allows us to help more kids learn to swim this summer!

 For more details on the types of classes and the cost, please click on “Class Options” at the top of the page!   

Registration will open on Wednesday, April 24th, at 8:30 p.m. Click on the "Registration" tab at the top of the page for details on this process!

Need a little more summer! Swim lessons aren't over!

 We still have several swim spots available for Aug. 7-10. They are all private lesson spots. We are also offering late afternoon/evening classes Aug. 14-17 and Aug. 21-24, which could be private or family group lessons. If you are interested please text/call Cindy at 208-713-8113.
