Safety Training:

Our goal is to help your children become better acclimated with the water through a direct manner of teaching in and out of the water. Classes at each level will also include safety lessons to go along with the swimming instruction. The safety of your child is paramount to us. This is why all of our instructors are required to be certified in lifesaving and CPR/First Aid.

Swim Classes for Kids (ages 4+)
- Group swim classes for children of beginners, intermediate & advanced levels. All group classes are offered in 6 week sessions and classes are run once per week for the duration of the session. You are given the opportunity to choose the day of the week that best fits your schedule. Each lesson will last 25 minutes.

- Private and semi-private swim lessons are scheduled by the instructor and family at their mutual convenience. Private classes are booked in blocks of 6 x 30 minute lessons.
