Group Swim Lessons

2023 Fall Swim Lessons Information

Swim lessons for kids of all abilities
Our instructors have been trained and are excited to teach your kids about swimming and water safety, regardless of level! Our core philosophies are to teach to the level of the child, provide constant feedback, and to ensure that students are introduced to the basics of each skill before being asked to master it.
Our lessons are designed for children 3 to 12 years old.

Group Lessons

Swim lessons are a wonderful foundation for building strong swimming skills! Group lessons offer:

a range of learning levels for all kinds of swimmers
skills taught with friends and peers
a nurturing learning environment that encourages confident swimmers
