Our 5 Class Options
We find most students need to take each level multiple times in order to truly learn the skills.
LEVEL 1 Classes - 2 options
Ages 5-12
SKILLS TAUGHT: front float, unassisted back float, front glides, kicking basics and non standard strokes. Choose between our 2 options based on how comfortable your swimmer is in the water already.

This is a patience filled class that will push your student to face their worries but always with the goal of them learning to love the water not hate it.

PRESCHOOL CLASS
(ages 3-4)
This class is designed for our little swimmers ages 3-4. The goals of the class are to help them feel comfortable with their face in the water, blow bubbles underwater, learn pool safety, and build confidence in the water. These foundational skills help them progress more quickly in swim lessons in the future and foster an early love and respect for the water. We spend a lot of time playing games, singing songs, blowing underwater bubbles, and having fun. The average class size is 4 students with each class having one teacher and one teacher’s aid. Students must be 3 years of age by the first day of their session.
