Baby & Toddler Classes (4 months to 3 years)

In our Little Dippers classes, babies and toddlers are introduced to the water in a fun, supportive, and safe setting. Parents join these classes to help foster trust and comfort in the water with their little ones.

Preschool & School-Age Classes (4 to 12 years)

As children grow, they advance through age-appropriate classes, from beginners learning water safety and floating to more advanced swimmers perfecting strokes and building endurance. Each class focuses on developing essential skills in an encouraging and positive environment.

For children ready to elevate their swimming, we offer a Swim Team Prep program. This class focuses on refining technique, building endurance, and preparing for competitive swimming – all while maintaining a fun atmosphere.
