FAQ

Swimmers can start as early as 3 months old—because it’s never too soon to learn water safety. There’s no age limit, so whether you’re learning as a toddler, teenager, or anywhere in between, we have a program to help you become a safer swimmer.

Our step-by-step program focuses on water acclimation, survival skills, and stroke development. The familiar format of each lesson offers comfort and consistency as you progress through our levels, making each transition smooth and seamless. 

Our instructors work patiently with swimmers as they build comfort and confidence in the water. Because our lessons take place in small groups, swimmers must be able to follow instructor’s directions and participate safely. In rare situations where a swimmer needs more individualized support than our program can provide, we may recommend pausing lessons and revisiting enrollment at a later time.

You join a small group and receive individual attention and tailored instruction. Water acclimation and water survival programs have a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, with stroke development programs maintaining a 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio.

We’re committed to tracking and celebrating your progress. Each program provides five clear goals and you progress at your own pace. These goals guide our lessons and ensure you get instruction that fits your unique skills and learning style.

Our instructors are highly-trained, experienced, and passionate about teaching water safety. They complete our comprehensive British Swim School training and hold national certifications in lifeguarding and first aid to ensure safety is a priority in every lesson.
