Our year-round program focuses on mastering breath control and perfecting strokes, progressively developing your child’s swimming abilities and boosting their confidence as they grow.
We offer group lessons for members and non-members, and private lessons for members only. Group lessons generally have a 1:3 ratio, except for Squad lessons (1:12) and J Babies classes (1:6, with caregivers in the water).
