Deerfield Park District now has three (3) great facilities for aquatics programs, including Swim Lessons:
Sachs Recreation Center Indoor Pool: a four-lane, 20-yard lap pool;
Mitchell Outdoor Pool: a "Z"-shaped pool with depths between 2-1/2 and 5 feet, along with a 12-feet deep diving bay; and
Deerspring Pool: an "L"-shaped, Olympic-size pool that ranges from 3 to 5 feet in depth, along with an 11.6 foot deep diving bay, with a 1-meter diving board.

NEW! Year-round indoor swim lessons at the Sachs Recreation Center are now offered and complement our popular outdoor swim lessons, learn-to-dive, and other aquatics programs.

Deerfield Park District's Learn-to-Swim program has a full range of classes on weekday mornings, weekday evenings and Saturday mornings to meet the needs of swimmers of all levels.

When determining which level to enroll your child, please remember it is better to underestimate your child's ability. It is easier to move your child up a level than move them down. The Learn-to-Swim program utilizes a step approach in teaching swimming.  Each level is designed to provide students the necessary skills to move up to the next level. Some students may have to repeat a level before they are ready to move up. For more information on the classes offered see below:
