Indiana Swimming

PCA's Club Team Registration is OPEN for Short-Course Season. 

 

 
 

Swim Lessons - group-based lessons with roughly a 1:5 instructor to swimmer ratio. Instructors are made up of middle school and high school age swimmers administering a curriculum designed by Coach Jennifer Detlefsen.

PCA's swim lessons will be available to swimmers aged 4 - 12, given the following prerequisites:

1.     Children must be comfortable fully submerging under the water independently AND
2.     Children must be comfortable separating from caregivers for the duration of the swim lesson.  Please note, a caregiver spectating balcony is available to caregivers to watch the lessons.
 

We recommend that children who do not meet the prerequisites above enroll in swim lessons at the Richard A. Carlucci Aquatic Center and return to PCA's swim lessons once they have met the prerequisites listed above. For more information about swim lessons at the Richard A. Carlucci Aquatic Center, please call the Aquatic Center at 317-839-7665 or register for their swim lessons online at: https://register1.vermontsystems.com/wbwsc/inplainfield.wsc/splash.html.
