The Longfellow Aquatics Academy has taught thousands of people, young and old, how to swim and enjoy the water safely. The Academy and Pool Director, Cordelia Lydon, has put together a superior staff of gentle and highly-skilled Red Cross Certified instructors. We have a full complement of swim and exercise programs and activities available for you and your family.

Learn to swim from one of our Red Cross Certified instructors, get in a water workout, join one of our competitive swim classes, or just lounge by the pool, it's up to you!

Preschool Programs
Our Preschool Program is for children ages 2.5 through Kindergarten. Our teachers are selected based on their background in aquatics and experience working with young children. We focus on consistency, teacher support, and creating a nurturing environment. This gentle introduction for your new swimmer provides a solid foundation for future years in the water. All preschool programs maintain a low student/teacher ratio.

Water Exercise
The Longfellow Club is proudly celebrating our 20th year of Water Exercise Classes! Jane Polley has been the director of this program since 1992 and under her dynamic leadership Longfellow has been a New England reputation for excellence and a place instructors look to for advanced training. Jane has put together a professional, hard-working and fun staff will guide you to workout at your own pace. If you have always wanted to try a class, this is the season to "catch the wave". The classes are designed to accommodate top athletes, moderate-paced or injured exercisers, and even those that feel timid around water. We have a new Bose sound system allowing us to use ipods and enjoy amazing, high-quality music.
