Swim Lessons - April 2025 Session
Swim lessons are offered at Copley High School in the Simmons Natatorium. For questions or additional information, contact natatorium director, Amanda Hinton at amanda.hinton@copley-fairlawn.org
Directions: The HS is located at 3807 Ridgewood Rd. Copley, Oh 44321The pool is attached to the main building with an entrance on the West side of the building. These doors lead to the main gym and the parking lot leads to the stadium at the other end.Park near the building and enter the glass doors. You will see the Natatorium door open just as you step inside on the left. Take those stairs up to get checked in for the lesson. You can also enter the locker rooms from that hallway by walking past the first door and you'll see the Men or Women signs and the doors open to those locker rooms.
Often, our side door is open for ventilation. Please do not use this door to enter our facility. For safety, we limit "street shoes" on the pool deck.
On your first visit: You'll check in with Amanda/or a staff member and show your "ticket" from your registration email. For each lesson, the instructors will take attendance before the kids get in the water. * The teachers will call the group to come down when they are ready to greet the kids. The area of the stands near the girls locker room is open to the pool deck. The kids will step down on deck from there to meet their teachers.* It's recommended that any child with longer hair should wear a swim cap and all kids should wear goggles.
Locker Rooms: Locker rooms are available & include showers. Sandals/shower shoes are required in the locker rooms. Please avoid changing in the bathroom stalls.
In the Stands: We ask that no wet swimmers enter the stands. For their lesson, please drape your child's towe/ls over the railing for them to dry off and go into the locker room or meet them at the railing with the towel. The stands become very slick when wet so we keep this as a dry area. Parents, please stay in the stands during the lesson so as not to distract your children. Our trained instructors will guide them through the required skills. Of course, if needed, you may approach your child.
