Swim lessons at Si View Pool are in high demand, and classes often fill quickly during open enrollment. We encourage early registration and recommend using the waitlist if a class is full. If a space becomes available, we will contact waitlisted participants.
Because of high demand, District residents receive a priority registration period for open enrollment sessions, including swim lessons, swim team, and water safety courses.
Open enrollment sessions:
Priority registration sessions:
Priority registration allows currently enrolled students to continue progressing through their swim level. Completing one swim level typically requires 10 hours of instructional time, which is longer than a single session. Priority access applies to both group and private lessons.
These sessions reserve space for students enrolled in the immediately preceding session:
| Session | Priority for students in previous session | Open |
| C | Friday, April 10 7:00AM |
Friday, April 10 12:00PM |
| Summer D, E & weeklong sessions | No priority for students in previous sessions |
Friday, May 15 7:00AM – Residents 12:00PM – Non-residents |
We encourage all new students to review the skills taught at each level– and the skills required to pass–before registering for a class.

Group lessons
Group lessons are available for ages 6 months through adult. Infant and toddler classes require a parent in the water. Parent participation is not required for Puddle Jumpers II, Preschool, or Youth programs, though occasional assistance may still be helpful at younger ages.
Adult lessons
Adult classes are designed for swimmers who are already comfortable in shallow water. We offer three levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—and schedule these classes during times with lighter pool programming.
Private lessons
Private lessons are available for students ages 3 and older. These are a
great option when a group setting may not be the best fit for a student's success. We offer a
limited number of private lesson openings throughout the year.
If enrolling more than one student, participants should be at or near the same skill level.
When there is a significant difference in ability, the instructor will divide the lesson
into two 15-minute segments.
To help the instructor prepare, please email
with the names of participants and their learning goals.
Developmental Swim Team
Our developmental swim team prepares swimmers for USA Swimming Association teams.
We recommend that students complete Youth Level 6 before joining. Swim team programs
follow the same registration cycles and session dates as group and private lessons.

After reviewing the skills associated with each level, choose a class that matches the conservative end of the student's abilities. It is better for students to feel confident and successful than to struggle in a level that is too advanced. Because each level typically requires 10 hours of instruction to complete, students progress at different rates depending on age, coordination, confidence, and practice outside of class. If a student is enrolled in a course beyond their ability level, staff may withdraw them from the class.
If this is your first time enrolling, please also review the minimum age requirements for each level. If you're unsure where to begin, we encourage you to schedule a free swim assessment–a quick, 10-minute evaluation. To schedule, email Bridget Verhei at bverhei@siviewpark.org..

Swim lesson registration is available through our online portal. If you are new to Si View programs, you'll need to create an online account first. You may also register by phone at (425) 831‑1900 or in person at the pool or our administrative office. Please make sure your account information is current.
Please register for no more than one class per week. Registering for multiple days limits opportunities for other students. If your child has been away from lessons for a while, choose a level where they will feel comfortable and successful.
Instructor requests are welcome, but accommodations depend on staff availability and cannot be guaranteed. Once a session begins, our ability to make changes or transfer students is very limited.
To determine whether your residence qualifies for District priority registration, you can view our the District Boundary Map here. Residency status is assigned based on the physical address listed in your Si View account.
District residents must have a physical address on file to access priority registration. If your account currently uses a PO Box, please update it with your street address. Proof of residency, such as a driver's license or utility bill, may be required. To update your address, contact us at (425) 414-0765 or email . Account holders may also update their address online by logging in to the Si View registration system.
We do not offer makeup classes for days a student misses, but we encourage students to attend the remaining lessons in their session. If we must cancel a class due to inclement weather or a pool contamination, we will issue a credit for the canceled class.
If you need to withdraw from a course that is already in progress, please review our refund policy on the registration page for details. Because of the number of students enrolled, we are unable to transfer students between classes mid-session.
Learning to swim is an essential life skill, and we want all community members to have access to lessons. Financial need-based scholarships are available year-round. Please contact us for information and an application before registering. Scholarship approvals take approximately one week.
If this is your child's first session, we recommend visiting the pool ahead of time. Public Swim hours are a great opportunity to help familiarize them with the facility, locker rooms, and pool deck.
For lessons:
Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers during lessons. It's helpful to know your child's instructor's name and their class level (e.g., Pre 1, Youth 1) before arrival. We have limited time between classes for parent communication. If you anticipate needing a longer discussion, please call or email to schedule a conversation.
The Benefits: Goggles can be a game changer for getting hesitant or scared swimmers in the water. Goggles offer kids the ability to see clearly and help them overcome initial fears as they learn to float and swim. They can better focus on the lesson without the discomfort and distraction that comes with getting water in their eyes.
The Disadvantages: While goggles can boost confidence in the early days of swimming lessons, excessive reliance on goggles can hinder a child's ability to learn and grow. They may later protest that they just can't do it without their goggles. And though we are certainly thrilled at the progress kids make while using goggles, we also want to be sure that children can develop and use skills they may need in an emergency (where they most likely do not have goggles) or if they are wearing goggles, and they suddenly fill with water. Finally, goggles can become their own distraction during lessons. If goggles are ill-fitting, uncomfortable, or a child just doesn’t know how to wear and tighten them, they can spend a significant amount of the lesson paying attention to their goggles rather than on the skills.
The Verdict: The use of goggles in swimming lessons can be both beneficial and challenging. Our recommendation is to first try having a child start lessons without goggles. If they are confident and successful without goggles, they will never develop a dependence. Use of goggles is best begun in Preschool 2 and Youth 2. Goggles that cover the mouth and nose (snorkel masks) are not permitted. If your student will wear goggles, note that they must be able to take their goggles off, put on, and adjust on their own.
