Swimming Lessons

Get Your Kids Swimming

No matter what kind of swimming experience your kids have - even if they've never been in a swimming pool before - we can help them get started or improve their current skills. Our swim lessons are taught by WSI (Water Safety Instructor)-certified teachers who conduct swim classes in private and group settings. Each session consists of eight 20-to-25-minute lessons geared toward participants' proficiency.

Private and group swimming lessons are available for children three months old through ten years. Teens and adults can sign up for private swimming lessons. Our swim classes are filled by current skill level and availability, not by age. Our certified swimming instructors keep each child motivated by focusing on the areas where they need to improve. We encourage children to communicate so we can find the right learning environment for them. Think of our swimming classes like a school: we begin with the equivalent of kindergarten and have kids work their way toward upper grades.
