PARENT-CHILD SWIM LESSONS
Ages 6 months-3 year
Class ratio 1:10
We introduce kids the water through group activities and games, while a parent accompanies them in the water. Skills are introduced at the child's development level and build on each other as the child progresses. Basic skills are taught through songs and fun games. All children must wear a swim diaper under their swimsuit.
Diaper Dip
Ages 6-17 months
Your child will have a great first experience in the water as we teach parents how to supervise and guide their child in the water.
Super Tots

For the child ready to learn elementary swimming skills but not old enough to take classes alone yet.
PRESCHOOL SWIM LESSONS
Ages 3-5 years
Class ratio 1:4
We help children build elementary swimming skills while teaching them safety along the way. Children are placed with our trained instructors based on their skill levels.
PIKE
Perfect for beginners! Children adjust to the water and develop independent movement through the use of an Instructional Flotation Device (float belt, bar bell or kick board) and/or assistance from the instructor at all times. We work on kicking skills, floating, pool safety and basic strokes.
EEL
Children are more confident in the water, but still considered beginners. Swimmers may still require the use of an Instructional Flotation Device, but are able to swim longer distances. Children are taught to float, kick and perform progressive arm movements.
RAY
Our intermediate preschool class is for swimmers who are use the Instructional Flotation Device less and less. We improve on stroke skills on front, back arm alternating paddles that closely resemble the front and back crawls.
STARFISH
Our most advanced preschool class reviews and improves stroke skills on front, back and side while building endurance while our instructors teach them to tread water.
YOUTH SWIM LESSONS
Ages 6-12 years
Class ratio 1:6
For our older swimmers, we focus on endurance, pool and personal safety, skill development and lifesaving techniques. Skills are assessed and children are placed with instructors in the appropriate age groups.
Polliwog
This is our beginner level for those who are uncomfortable in the water or haven?t ever taken swim lessons. We teach basic water skills including floating and kicking. Swimmers in this level require help from an Instructional Flotation Device or assistance from their instructor at all times.
Guppy
We help swimmers begin to refine their personal safety skills and strokes while they increase their endurance level. We slowly introduce deeper water so that swimmers can increase their independence.
Minnow
Swimmers learn to perfect the front crawl and backstroke while we introduce them to the breaststroke.
Fish
Our intermediate class in which swimmers continue to work on floating, treading and Instructional Flotation Device skills while learning new skills like the butterfly stroke and competitive turns and starts.
FLYING FISH/SHARK
Ages 6-12
Class Ratio 1:8
Our most advanced levels in which swimmers continue to work on their strokes and turns, incorporating rescue and snorkeling skills. Swimmers should be able to swim all 5 strokes (front crawl, breaststroke, sidestroke, backstroke and elementary backstroke) for a minimum of 100 yds. with open turns, swim the butterfly stroke for 25-50 yds. with or without fins and demonstrate the steps for CPR on a mannequin.

ADULT SWIM LESSONS
Ages 13+ years
Adult swim lessons are for those individuals who wish to learn how to swim or for those who want to work on their technique. Classes have a low student-to-instructor ratio which allows for one-on-one instruction in each class. Skills include basic water acclimation, floating, treading, freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, diving and much more.
