No group lessons; siblings or friends can schedule private swim lessons at the same time so they're in the pool together, each with their own instructor. For toddlers, the main points of emphasis are comfort in the water and water safety; they do not focus on stroke technique until children are older and do not believe in 'dunking' children under the water.
What families say
“I took adult lessons along with my husband as swimmers with 0 experience. What a gem we found! We had Tammy as our instructor and she is absolutely amazing. She was patient with specialized skills to teach adults and by the end of our package we can confidently say we are light years ahead of where we started.” — Rabea S.
“Our 5 year old is learning so much. I cannot praise these private lessons enough. Lilly makes learning fun while keeping the message about pool safety a reoccurring theme.” — Landon L.
“The lessons were great. Erik developed great rapport with my kiddo right off the bat.” — Virginia B.
