Swim Lessons
Participants include UARK students, UREC members, and non-members.
Due to a high volume of requests, we are currently experiencing increased wait times for scheduling.
Lessons can be either private (one participant) or semi-private (two participants who reside in the same household). Lesson days and times are based on pool and instructor availability. Private and semi-private lessons are available for participants aged 3 and up.
Please email Erin Marks if you have any questions.

University Recreation + Wellness offers water safety lessons to the University of Arkansas community (faculty/staff/students) at no cost. This program teaches feeling confident in the water with a variety of maneuvers such as: treading water, floating on your back and propelling up from the bottom of the pool to the surface. Acceptance is on a first come, first served basis and assessed by need.
Water Safety Lessons are unavailable during Summer 2025.
Cancellation Policy: Two business days notification is required to cancel enrollment and receive a refund or transfer enrollment to another class. If the participant does not attend the class in which they enrolled, or fails to cancel enrollment within two business days of the class, payment is forfeited. A $25.00 administrative fee is charged if enrollment is canceled, assessed through $25.00 less the amount of refund.
