East Park Pool launches affordable summer swim lessons June 8
East Park Pool opened youth swim lessons June 8, offering 20 hours of instruction for $50 per student for swimmers of all skill levels.
East Park Pool gave Los Alamos families a low-cost way to build water safety and confidence as summer started, opening youth swim lessons for swimmers of all skill levels. The first session began Monday, June 8, and a second session runs July 6-17.
Classes meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., adding up to 20 hours of instruction for $50 per student. The price makes the program one of the most affordable organized summer activities available at the pool, especially for parents looking for supervised time in the water without committing to a full membership.
The lessons are part of a larger summer season at 111 East Rd. in Los Alamos, where East Park Pool lists weekday open swim from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and lane swim later in the day. The pool opened for the season June 3 after a New Mexico Environment Department re-inspection delayed its original opening, a reminder that seasonal pools in New Mexico cannot operate until state approval is in place.
East Park Pool says it depends entirely on memberships, donations, rentals and volunteer support to operate each summer. Members get unlimited access to swimming, guest passes, member appreciation events, party rentals and access to swim lessons during the season for a nominal fee. Memberships start at $475, putting the lesson series in a much lower price range for families who only need a short-term summer skill-building option.
Pool officials have said the goal is to be the most affordable, inclusive and fun community pool in Los Alamos. That approach also shows up in plans to work with local aquatic and youth organizations to expand group swimming opportunities through the summer, with interested organizations asked to contact the pool directly.
East Park has used a similar summer operating window in past seasons, generally opening around Memorial Day and running through Labor Day. This year’s lessons fit that same pattern, giving county families an early-season option for a skill that matters as much for safety as it does for recreation.
