Class Types
Water Baby: Caregiver goes in too
Length: 28 Minutes
Ages: (Ages 5 months - 2.5 years)
Led by experienced instructors and the help of the child's adult caregiver, these classes focus on water acclimation, breath control, and gentle movements. We believe in building water confidence from an early age and strive to create a positive and enjoyable experience for both babies and parents. An adult must be in the water with the baby during these classes.
PRIVATE LESSONS

A private swim lesson is 1 instructor to 1 swimmer ratio. Any age is eligible for a private lesson. Our experienced instructors gently guide your little ones as they learn to float, hold their breath, and kick their way to confidence in the water. With a nurturing environment and a curriculum designed specifically for all ages, our classes provide a fun and safe introduction to the world of swimming.
Semi Private LESSONS

The ratio for semi private lessons are 2 swimmers to 1 instructor. To maintain safety during our classes, any swimmer enrolled in semi private classes need to be able to follow directions and to sit independently on the steps or stand independently in the shallow end while waiting their turn.
Group LESSONS: Red level +

4 adult swimmers to 1 instructor. All ages, all abilities.
Our expert instructors guide your class through the fundamentals of floating, kicking, and swimming with and without a kick board. By learning these essential skills, you will develop confidence and strength in the water.
Jr. Swim Team
Length: 45 minutes
Ages: 6 years + , must be Green Level or higher
Our Jr. Swim Team is the perfect bridge between swim lessons and competitive club swimming—without the pressure of jumping straight onto a big team.
Swimmers meet 1–2 times per week for 45 minutes and build the skills they’ll need to confidently transition to a local club team, including:
- Circle swimming & lane etiquette
- Flip turns & starts
- Dives & streamlines
- I.M. foundations
- Relays & teamwork
- Swim team drills, endurance & technique—and more!
Our goal? Build the foundation before you hit the big team, so your swimmer arrives confident, prepared, and ready to participate—not wondering what everyone else already knows.
Think of it as Swim Team 101—with less pressure, smaller groups, and lots of skill-building!
