Swimming Lessons for Kids
We offer 30-minute, progressive swimming lessons for kids, including baby and toddler swimming lessons starting at 3 months old. With a simple, one-time registration, there's no need to sign up for every new swim session. We work with each swimmer individually to help them progress swim levels when they're ready, so your lesson day and time never has to change. Your registration will renew automatically each month until you decide to cancel.
How to Start
Schedule a complimentary 15-minute swim assessment to get started. Our swim instructors will evaluate your child’s skills and determine their starting swim level.
If you already know your child’s experience level, view our class descriptions and enroll your child in the appropriate class.
What to Expect
All swimmers need to bring a swimsuit and towel. Goggles and a swim cap are recommended. If your child is under age 3, you will need to accompany them in the pool. Pack swimsuits and towels for both of you. If your child isn’t potty-trained, they must wear a swim diaper and tight-fitting rubber pants under the swimsuit. Goggles are recommended for children ages 3 and up.
