Child Lessons:

Our experienced instructors provide comprehensive swim lessons that teach children the fundamentals of swimming strokes and technique. With a focus on safety and fun, including front and back float, treading water and jumping off the swim blocks into deep water, our lessons create a supportive environment where children can develop their swimming abilities at their own pace.

We offer low student-to-instructor ratios and continuous assessments. If your child is ready to move up, the Deck Supervisor will assess them on a regular basis without waiting until the end of the term.
