Group Lesson
Four (4) 30-minute group lessons- $70 registration goes toward four (4) 30-minute group lessons. Group lessons consist of 3-8 children.
- If class registration exceeds 5, a second instructor will be assisting, this means there will never be more than a 4-1 child to instructor ratio.

Our swim lessons are strategically broken into different levels to ensure children are not only working on the appropriate skills based on where they are now, but also to ensure that both child and parent are able to track their progression as they continue to improve and graduate to the next set of skills. On the bottom left, you will find level qualifications required to register for class, a minimum of 3 of the skills listed under each level must be met. On the right, you will find a basic breakdown of skills practiced and mastered at each skill level prior to moving onto the next.
