Group swim classes for kids

Our most popular program, and the one the ladder was built around. Water safety first, then stroke development, in groups small enough that a coach still knows what every child did last week.

From $172 a month for 4 lessons · 3 children per instructor in the youngest group.

Small groups, graded by skill

Children are grouped by what they can do in water as well as by age. That is what the 11-level ladder is for: a five-year-old learning to float and a five-year-old working on freestyle belong in different water, and each has a level here.

Every level has a name, a skill it teaches and the one that comes next, so a parent watching from the deck can see where their child is and where they are going.

In short
  • Ages 2 to 12
  • 3 children per instructor at the youngest level
  • 4 lessons a month, same slot each week
  • Free make-up with 24-hour notice

What you get

What comes with every session

Safety before strokes

Every level starts with what to do when a child ends up in water without meaning to. Stroke work is built on top of that foundation.

Graded by what they can do

A coach moves a child up the week the skill arrives. Levels run continuously, so a swimmer can start and can move on any week of the year.

The slot stays yours

A monthly tier covers 4 lessons at the same time each week, so the rest of the family’s week can be planned around it.

A place on the ladder

The same 11 levels run all the way to the pre-team group, so a child keeps climbing the same ladder when the strokes arrive.
