We are committed to tracking and celebrating every student’s progress. Each program provides five clear goals, and these goals guide our lessons, ensuring instruction fits the student’s unique skills and learning style. Swimmers advance through the levels at their own pace, moving up once they can consistently perform all five goals for their current level.
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.

A note about our billing. All classes, except for the Barracuda program, are billed per class. Usually, you will be billed for four classes per month, but some months you may be billed for five classes because your lesson falls on a day with five lessons per month. Other months it could be three lessons because of a holiday or planned closure. Tuition for the next month is charged on the 25th of every month.
