Classes
Our program is individualized for children with a wide variety of needs. Our goal is to guide children and their families in the all important skill of water safety! We use playful, and small group classes to help our swimmers overcome challenges, connect with their environment, and find joy in learning how to swim and be safe around water.
Our classes are small with 3 swimmers per instructor, we can tailor the programs to each child’s unique needs. Advanced swimmers are challenged, while beginner swimmers get the time and attention they need to thrive.
Each group class is $30 per child, with a yearly registration fee of $40 per child or $55 per family.
For example, if you sign up for a class on Monday at 3:30pm, and there are 4 Mondays in the month your total for the month is $120. Plus an annual registration fee of $40 per child or $55 per family.
If the month you sign up for has 5 days of classes, the total will be $150.
You can join our classes any time. Class registration during the school year will automatically re-enroll month to month.
Adapted Classes are for children who have special needs. Whether the child has a specific diagnoses or a physical on intellectual difference, we can meet the child where they are and develop safe swimming skills. The goal is to help the child socially move from a 1:1 class to the small group classes.
Adapted classes are $75 per 1:1 class.
