How Our Class Levels Work
Our group classes are taught by level, building up from beginners (Level 1) through Jr Swim Team (Level 4-6). 1-on-1 lessons are for any level swimmer, as long as the child is at least 2 years and 4 months old. Based on the age of your child and whether they can roll to float, find out more about our different class levels below.

Survival Swimming
Our survival swim lessons are taught by our certified Infant Aquatics instructor, and are highly effective to help young children save themselves in the water.
Children come for 6-8 weeks in a row, 4 days per week. We recommend after the 6-8 week intensive, that they continue weekly lessons or practice with an adult regularly to retain their skill.

Age: 6 months to 6 years old
Class length: 10 minutes

About Infant Aquatics®
Infant Aquatics® lessons are focused solely on survival skills.They are short lessons that are highly effective in teaching a child to rollover to float independently (for babies 6 months through 16 months old) or swim-float-swim to the side of the pool and get out independently (for those 16 months old through 6 years old).
Sessions
- $105 per week, plus $80 registration fee
- Sessions are 6-8 weeks long. To complete the session, there will be a skills test in which your child will have to float in the water wearing clothes.

Private Lessons
We offer two different types of private lessons: 1-on-1 classes or Choose Your Crew. Both are personalized to your student, with individualized instruction in each class. Private lessons begin at ages 2 years and 4 months.
Choose Your Crew
Age: Minimum 2 years and 4 months old
Class length: 30 minutes
Class ratio: 1:1; 2:1; 3:1
Choose Your Crew lessons are with your child and one instructor (unless you add 1-2 siblings or friends to make it a group).
It does NOT guarantee that you will have the whole pool to yourself. But you will have one dedicated instructor for your child the entire time. Like in every class, we will assess their individual needs and meet them where they are!
1-on-1
Age: Minimum 2 years and 4 months old
Class length: 20 minutes
Class ratio: 1:1
1-on-1 lessons are shorter than Choose Your Crew and therefore can only have ONE child enrolled at a time. It does NOT guarantee that you will have the whole pool to yourself. But you will have one dedicated instructor for your child the entire time.
This focused learning time goes a long way, and skill from any level can be taught. Like in every class, we will assess their individual needs and meet them where they are!
