Your Swimming Journey, Our Expertise

For children as young as 2 and a half, our intuitive approach to the process of learning to swim focuses on trust and safety. The pool is kept at a toasty 89 degrees all year long for maximum comfort.

We use a variety of pool toys and games that have been developed to keep kiddos excited and intrigued.  The lessons are predictable and repetitive to help nervous swimmers to find comfort.

Open For Winter

Our outdoor pool, covered by a protective tarp, offers a refreshing and stimulating environment for swim lessons. The tarp allows us to maintain consistent water temperatures, even on chilly days, ensuring your child can learn and practice year-round. Enroll your child today and let them enjoy the benefits of swimming outdoors, rain or shine.
