Swim Program Descriptions
Below are general descriptions of swim programs offered across the Seattle Parks and Recreation pool system. Some locations may have variations, so please check with each pool for specific details.
Recreation Swims
Adult Swim is time set aside for recreational swimming for adults 18 or older. We set aside one part of the pool for lap swimming and leave the rest of the pool available for less structured swimming.
Fun for the whole family, Family Swim is a great time for play. Children younger than 18 must be accompanied into the pool by a responsible adult. Children younger than 6 years of age or under 48" in height must be directly supervised in the water by an adult who is within a distance of an arm's length at all times.
Early Morning Lap Swim is a great opportunity for early morning swimmers. It's for lap swimmers of all ages; we set up lanes according to speed levels. You'll need a pre-purchased swim card for entry.
Lap Swim is a continuous lap swim for swimmers of all ages; we divide the lanes according to speed levels.
Public swim is a time set aside for recreational swimming for swimmers of all ages to enjoy. Children younger than 6 or under 48" in height must be directly supervised in the water by an adult who is within a distance of an arm's length at all times.
Senior Swim is time we set aside especially for seniors 65 and older. We set aside one part of the pool for lap swimming, and leave the rest of the pool available for less structured swimming.
Water Fun, including Pool Playland for younger kids with their accompanying adults, and Teen Swim for kids in middle school and high school, is available at various pools. Please see individual pool brochures for more information.
Fitness Swims
Shallow Water Exercise uses the resistance of water in a reduced-impact environment. Exercises include aerobics, strength and toning, and abdominal work. Provided equipment may include dumbbell buoys or water noodles.
Deep Water Exercise incorporates muscular strengthening, aerobics conditioning, and abdominal toning exercises in the zero-impact environment of deep water. In it you'll use flotation equipment for buoyancy and water resistance. Participants should be comfortable in deep water.
Coached Swim (formerly Masters Workout) is a structured workout led by experienced instructors designed to help you get in shape, stay in shape, or prepare for an important swim meet. Workouts are for adults 18 and older.
Jr. Masters is a drop-in competitive level coached swim for youth age 7-16 years old. Youth should know the 4 competitive strokes and be able to swim at least 200 yards at a time.
