  • What is your teaching style for kids?
    We teach the Red Cross levels & believe in their philosophy. Water safety is #1!. We are stocked with swim toys from Barbie to Spider Man, sticky toys, sinking aquatic critters, rubber duckies & aquatic swimmers! We have all the equipment to make learning to swim enjoyable & easy! We also follow the American Association of Pediatrics guidelines & teach survival swimming very gently.
  • How many lessons does it take until my child swims?
    It varies! Every swimmer has his/her own way and pace of learning, therefore, it is impossible to determine the average amount of lessons it takes to achieve the desired level of swimming. 3-5 yr olds are the fastest & easiest to teach/ learn. Lots of play/ swim time between lessons speeds up the progress. What are your expecations? Not drowning? Or all the strokes? I took 10 yrs of swim lessons, Sarah could beat me in a race before her 3rd lesson LOL but I am her mom! In other words: it is up to you/your swimmer!
  • Do you offer group lessons?
    Yes! Prices are based on duration & location, NOT on the number of swimmers! That means if your weekly group lesson changes from 4 swimmers to 2 swimmers, you/your group are responsible for paying the FULL amount for the lesson.
