This program is free and easy to do! Each time you  swim laps at the Renaud Center, log your laps in our binder. To swim at mile at our pool, you need to swim 66 laps or 33 lengths. We will do tallies throughout the year and then at the end we will add them all up and see who has swam the most. Top three participants get prizes, as well as everyone who hits 25 miles, 50, 75, 100, etc.

A lap is one swim down. A length is swimming down and back. Renaud Center Mileage Swim Club participants log their swimming in laps.

Sign up by calling the Renaud Center front desk at 636-474-2732, or print and complete the Private Lesson Request from the website. The form is also available at our facility. We ask for your name, child’s name, phone number, age, what days and times you would like and any other information you think would be helpful for us to know. The form is then given to the Aquatic Specialist and who will then assign a guard to call and set up the three lessons based on both of your schedules. Pleaset note:  this process can take about one to two weeks; during the summer, it may take up to three weeks for someone to reach you.

Private lessons are one-on-one lessons with your child and the instructor. A semi-private lesson is for two children and the instructor. Participants of semi-private lessons are requested to be approximately at the same skill level.

Customized private lessons give you ultimate flexibility! You and the instructor decide what days and times work best for each of you. Scheduled private lessons are days and times that are already published in the Parks & Rec Guide. You may sign up for these lessons online or in-person. An instructor will be ready to meet you and your swimmer on the first day of lessons.
