Our curriculum and team training provide children with a consistent learning platform that adapts to their individual learning style to aid in their growth. We ensure our children know what to expect and feel comfortable throughout their lesson, no matter their pace. Repetition, a key factor in retaining knowledge, informs our process and recommended year-round schedule. We recommend twice a week lessons when possible. Our 28 minute lessons keep our students engaged throughout the duration of their class. Our different age groups include babies, toddlers, pre-school and school age.

6 - 36 months
All children under 36 months or, older children who are not potty trained, must use a non-disposable swim diaper of the Happy Nappy brand, under their swimsuits.
An adult family member accompanies the child in the pool for the first 4 baby levels. This gives parents the opportunity to become comfortable with their child in the water and learn skills they can practice at home. Classes are 6 parent/child couples per class for the first 3 levels.
These classes focus on water acclimation, breath control, and gentle movements. We believe in building water confidence from an early age and strive to create a positive and enjoyable experience for both babies and parents.
