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.

The Pitt’s Kids Adaptive Swim Program was specifically designed to benefit and support children of all ages with a range of disabilities and needs. Our goal is to help each swimmer overcome any challenges they may face in the water, regardless of prior swim experience, in a 1:1 instruction ratio. Our top priorities are for each child to become comfortable in the water, learn water safety, increase physical activity, and – of course – to have fun!
