If you are a new family to Orono Community Education’s swimming lessons, we encourage you to schedule a swimming pre-assessment to determine the best level for your swimmer. Pre-assessments take place at the Orono pool. Instructors will guide your swimmer through a set of skills in a 15-minute period.
Pre-assessments will take place in early December 2024. Contact Tara St. Martin to schedule a pre-assessment at tara.st.martin@orono.k12.mn.us.
Note: Attending a pre-assessment does not guarantee a spot in lessons. Spots fill quickly.
