We offer 14 levels of progression with beginning classes for kids of any age.  For preschoolers, our lesson plans are theme-based to allow imagination to flourish and fear to diminish, a very important element! For older children, classes emphasize fun and water safety skills in the beginning levels and stroke development and technique in advanced classes.

Each age group features several classes with increasing difficulty.  Every class maintains a small student to teacher ratio to improve learning and encourage safety.
