Continuing Education Program

Continuing Education Program

Our year-round "CE" program lessons enhance a swimmer's water safety skills plus introduce and develop competitive swimming strokes. These are 30- and 45-minute group lessons that have between 5 and 10 swimmers per coach. They are usually available after the completion after one of our swim school lesson sessions. We utilize the Westminster Christian School High School Pool, locates at 6855 SW 152 Street, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157


These Continuing Education (CE) lessons provide an opportunity for 2 and 1/2 and older swimmers to develop their skills and competitive swimming strokes until they are qualified to join the AquaKids SHARKS Swim Team. "CE" lessons are twice a week (M/W or T/Th) on a monthly basis in the afternoons and evenings!

Registration requires a try-out to determine the appropriate class level. The exact class days and times is determined after the try-out and placement in a class is dependent on ability and availability.

‍Our Continuing Education ("CE") Program currently has limited availability!
