Youth Programs

The PITT’s KIDS program provides instruction in aquatics, games, and sports instruction to children ages 3 to 13 years old (fall/spring semesters) and 5 to 13 years old (summer only).

Through this developmental program, children participate in a variety of age-appropriate activities with a focus on progressive skill instruction.

The program uses all areas of Trees Hall including the rock wall and the Olympic-size swimming pool. We also use the small pool in the back of the Olympic pool as well.
