Our Swim School is structured to provide a safe and nurturing aquatics experience for all students. From novice to competitive level swimmers, our lessons encompass proper swim instruction, technique, and endurance workouts. We offer swim lessons in both private and semi-private formats.
All children must be toilet trained in order to participate in swim lessons unless enrolled in an infant/parent class, in which case a swim diaper and a Tiny Tush plastic cover are required.
