Swim Lessons
Our kids swim lessons welcome children of all abilities to learn in a fun and structured environment. Our instructors keep students focused during class to teach them important water safety skills.
Our program uses a child-centered approach to teach children how to rescue themselves. Swim classes are filled with age-appropriate activities and games that teach children to respect the water. Children will also develop and refine the four strokes of swimming.
