Registration Instructions and Information

BRC members have priority registration for lessons and a substantial discount over non-member fees. BRC Members can and should register for all the swim lesson sessions and times in which they choose to participate before May 1st. All lessons must be paid for at least 2 weeks prior to the start of lessons. No registration will be reserved unless payment is made at the time of registration.

Each child is assessed by the swim instructors and placed into the appropriate skill level. Swimmers usually need more than one session to advance to the next skill level. Our experienced instructors make sure swimmers get the most out of every lesson.

All BRC swim instructors are certified lifeguards as well as trained swim instructors certified by the Red Cross and the DuPage Swim Center. Only BRC employees can teach swimming lessons at the BRC.

The BRC reserves the right to cancel swim lesson sessions and refund your registration if there is not enough interest in that session (the rarely happens!)

We are moving to fully online registration!

Private Swimming Lessons:

The BRC offers private and semi-private swimming lessons so swimmers can receive individual instruction on a flexible schedule with specific BRC swim instructors if desired. Only BRC employed lifeguards, swimming instructors and swim team coaches may teach swimming lessons at the BRC.

Private and semi-private swimming lessons can focus on the skills needed for advancement to specific swimming levels or on the specific needs of the swimmer. Private and semi-private lessons are available for all ages (children to adults) and all skill levels (intro to competitive).
