About the provider

Menlo Swim & Sport is proud to partner with the Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation (BBAF) to offer scholarships to those financially in need. Its mission is: “We’re all about making a safe splash and helping our community become stronger, more confident swimmers.”

During the first group lesson, instructors assess swimmers through an in-water progression to confirm the appropriate level. If the staff decides the level is too easy or too difficult, the caretaker must sign up for the appropriate class based on the staff’s evaluation.
