During open enrollment, lessons fill up quickly. We encourage you to register as soon as possible and use the waitlist option if a class has already filled. In the event of cancellation, we will contact the waitlisted students. Due to high demand for swim lessons at Si View Pool, District residents have a priority registration period for open enrollment sessions for swim lessons, swim team and water safety courses.
Open enrollment sessions:
Priority registration sessions:
The purpose of the priority registration sessions is to allow students to complete a swim level which typically takes 10 hours of instructional time per level. This applies to both group and private lessons. During these sessions, priority registration is provided for students enrolled in the current session before opening space for new students. The purpose of the priority registration is to allow students to complete a swim level which typically takes 10 hours of instructional time per level, longer than a typical session. This applies to both group and private lessons.
| Session | Priority for students in previous session | General registration |
| C | Friday, May
16, 7:00AM | Friday, May 16, 12:00PM |
| Summer sessions D, E, and weeklong | None | Friday, May 23 Residents – 7:00AM Non-residents – 12:00PM |
We encourage all new students to review skills covered at each level and the skills needed to pass a level prior to registering for a program.
Check out our NEW Parent Handbook
Group lessons are available for ages 6 months to adults. The infant-toddler programs require parent participation in the water, but not for students in puddle jumpers II (although sometimes parent assistance is necessary at this age), preschool and youth programs.
Adult lessons are offered for adults who already have comfort in shallow water. Three levels are available: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Adult lessons are offered when there is minimal programming scheduled at the pool.
Private lessons are an option. Sometimes group setting is not the best option for student success. We offer a limited number of private lessons throughout the year for students ages 3 and older. Students must be at or near the same swimming ability. Should there be too great of a difference, the instructor will split the lesson into two–15-minute sessions. To assist the instructor with preparation, please e-mail , who will be attending the lesson, and what their learning goals are.
We also offer a developmental swim team that helps students get ready for USA Swimming Association teams. It is recommended that before joining the swim team, students have completed Youth 5. All group and private lessons, and the swim team follow the same registration cycles and session dates.
Recently added to our offerings: Youth Level 5 and Level 6. These are 45-minute lessons, helping students best prepare for the swim team.

After reviewing the skills covered for the course level, select a class on the conservative side of the student's skills. It is preferable that they succeed in the appropriate class rather than struggle in one that is difficult. Students will progress through levels at different speeds depending on age, physical coordination, practice outside of class, etc. In most cases, completing a swim level takes 10 hours of lesson time. Students enrolled in courses beyond their skill level may be withdrawn by staff.
For students enrolling for lessons for the first time, also check the minimum age requirements for the level. If you are unsure of where to start, we encourage you to schedule an assessment. Swim assessments are free and take about 10 minutes. E-mail Bridget Verhei, .

Swim lesson registration is available through our online portal. You can select the appropriate level to view all available courses. Visit our aquatics page to get started with registration. If you are new to Si View programs, you will need to create an online account prior to registration. You can also register by phone (425) 831-1900 or in-person at the pool or at our admin office. Be sure your account information is up to date and that you only have one account.
Please do not register for more than one day a week, as it limits opportunities for other students to enroll in essons. If your child has taken time off from lessons, enroll them at a level where they will be comfortable and successful.
Specific swim lesson instructors may be requested. Accommodating requests is subject to staff availability, and not guaranteed. Our ability to make changes or transfer students when a session is in progress is very limited.
To determine whether a residence is within the Park District and qualifies for resident priority registration periods, the boundary map can be viewed here on our website. The Si View registration system assigns residency status based on the physical address associated with the customer account. District residents must have a physical address on file to access resident priority registration. If a PO Box was previously provided, physical address must be added to access resident priority registration. Updating address information is the customer's responsibility. Please contact us at (425) 414-0765 or email to update your address information on file. Proof of residency such as a driver's license or utility bill, may be required. Account holders may also update their address online by logging in to the Si View registration.
We do not offer make up days for any class days that student misses, but we do encourage attendance for the rest of the session. Sometimes we must cancel a class day due to inclement weather or contamination, in those cases we credit students for the cancelled class. If you need to withdraw from a course that is in progress, please see our refund policy on our registration page for details. We are not able to transfer students from one class to another mid-session due to the large number of students enrolled in our programs.
Learning to swim is a critical life skill. It is our goal that everyone in our community has an opportunity to learn to swim. Financial need-based scholarships are available year-round. Please contact us for information and application before registering for a class. Scholarship applications take a week for approval.
For first time students, it is a good idea to visit the pool prior to session starting. The Public Swim times are perfect for familiarizing student with the facility, the locker rooms, and the pool deck. For your lessons, please arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to start of lessons, in your swimwear and bring a towel. If your child is not fully potty trained, please have them wear a swim diaper with snug fitting legs. It is best not to bring your child to a class with a full stomach, save snacks for the way home. Parents are welcome to stay on the bleachers during the lessons. It is helpful for parents to learn your child's instructor's name, and the swim class level (such as Pre 1 or Youth 1) prior to arrival. We have just a few minutes in between lessons for communication with parents, if you anticipate a longer conversation, please call or email to schedule a time to meet.
