Welcome to the Fred Endert Pool STARFISH Aquatics Swim Lessons
Please read carefully for important information regarding Swim Lessons.
Moving forward with lessons, we will be staggering registration dates for each class to take place on different days so we can ensure sign ups go smoothly for all.
To enable more participants to participate in group lessons, we will be implementing a new procedure for all upcoming registrations. If your child participates in a session, they will need to wait one round of group lessons to enroll again. This helps ensure more of the community can receive free lessons provided by the Del Norte County Healthcare District and learn critical water safety skills. We appreciate everyone’s understanding as these changes are implemented.
If you have any questions, please contact the pool at 707-464-9503 and ask to speak to a supervisor.
*Parents only required for StarBabies and StarTots
* Pre-Swim School- Otters will now have to tread water to move to Porpoise
We are currently offering free Group Swim Lessons sponsored by the Del Norte Healthcare District! Free swimming lessons will be offered to group lessons ONLY!

The purpose of this course is to foster in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training parents and caregivers in water safety and drowning prevention. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence building, fun, and loving experience.
