SAFETY AROUND WATER | OUR FIRST PRIORITY

71% of the World is Water | Children Are 100% Curious

Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity.
Let us help you make sure they learn essential water safety skills, which can open up
a world of possibilities for them to satisfy their curiosity safely.

Now offering American Red Cross Swim Lessons

The Red Cross has developed swimming lessons for kids and adults that allow everyone the opportunity to learn in a safe environment, at their own pace. Our Swim classes are taught by certified, knowledgeable, and caring instructors who can help swimmers at every level feel comfortable in the water and progress to the next level.

 Red Cross swim lessons for kids are tailored to the needs of each child so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. And although some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.

Parents or guardians of children up to about 3 years of age will actively participate in their kids' swim lessons. This not only helps increase the child's comfort level in the water but can help parents understand the process and practice skills with their children between classes.

 

Private Swim Lessons 
Offered for both children and adults

Learn to swim for the first time or work with an instructor to improve on your current skills. Students will work to improve the skill base they currently have using drills, techniques, and fun activities to succeed. We want everyone to have an opportunity to learn how to swim. 
If you are an adult or teenager who can't find a swim program to fit your needs, a parent who got closed out of a swim class, or you just want a one-on-one atmosphere, private lessons might be for you. We will provide a qualified instructor who will work one-on-one with you and teach you everything from the basics of swimming and how to feel confident in the water to the four basic strokes.

Private swim lessons are available in packages of 4.
