One-on-one instruction tailored to your child's level — from first bubbles to confident laps. Book in flexible 4-lesson blocks and watch the progress happen.

Find the Right Level

Not sure where your swimmer fits? Start with the lower level — it's always easier to move up than to feel lost. If you'd like help placing your child, just reach out.

Level 1

Building Comfort in the Water

Getting in, blowing bubbles, and learning to trust the water — Level 1 sets the foundation every swimmer needs.

  • Basic water safety rules
  • Blowing bubbles and submerging face
  • Floating on front and back
  • Front glide
Level 2

First Strokes, Real Results

Your swimmer can float — now it's time to actually go somewhere. Level 2 introduces the building blocks of freestyle and real forward momentum.

  • Streamline glides (front and back)
  • Kickboard drills
  • Retrieve underwater object
  • Jumps from pool edge
Level 3

Distance, Depth, and Confidence

Freestyle is working — now let's add backstroke, go deeper, and start building real endurance.

  • Freestyle (25 yards)
  • Backstroke (15 yards)
  • Surface Dives (4-6 feet)
  • Intro to Treading Water
Level 4

Endurance, Technique, and All Four Strokes

Level 4 swimmers are ready to go the distance and start mastering butterfly and breaststroke alongside their core strokes.

  • Freestyle and Backstroke endurance (50 yards)
  • Beginning Breaststroke and Butterfly
  • Treading water
  • Dives from pool edge

Questions about Swim Lessons

How do I know which level to choose?
Start with the level that best matches where your child is right now — when in doubt, go one level down. It's much easier to move up after a session than to feel overwhelmed. Not sure? Contact us and we'll help you figure it out.
What if my child doesn't progress to the next level right away?
Every swimmer is different. Some kids nail a level in four lessons; other's need more. That's completely normal and expected. We'll let you know where your child stands at the end of each block.
What should my child bring?
A swimsuit, goggles, and a towel. A swim cap is recommended for swimmers with long hair.
Do you offer lessons for adults?
Contact us and we'll be happy to discuss options for adult swimmers.
